EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in March 1881, showcases the innovative work of John Warner & Sons at their Crescent Foundry in Cripplegate, London. The image features three men, Advert, John, and an unidentified worker, surrounded by an array of hydraulic sanitary engineering marvels. John Warner & Sons were renowned for their expertise in producing portable water closets and commodes during the Victorian era. Their groundbreaking designs revolutionized the way people managed their daily hygiene needs, providing a more convenient and private solution than the traditional chamber pots and privies. The men in the photograph appear to be in the midst of assembling or testing one of these portable water closets. The intricate details of the hydraulic mechanisms and the gleaming copper pipes are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the braziers and coppersmiths at the Crescent Foundry. The setting of the photograph, with its dimly lit workshop and the large windows allowing natural light to filter in, adds to the sense of industry and innovation. The presence of a stack of leaflets on a nearby table suggests that the men were preparing for a demonstration or exhibition of their products. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century hydraulic sanitary engineering, showcasing the dedication and ingenuity of John Warner & Sons in addressing the everyday needs of the Victorian public.
