EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, showcases the exterior of the New Sanitary Laundry located on Orchard Road in Shepherds Bush, West London. The novelty silk handkerchief, advertised in the window, adds an intriguing element to this late Victorian scene. The New Sanitary Laundry, with its clean and orderly appearance, represents the advancements in laundry services during this era. The use of the term "sanitary" reflects the growing importance of hygiene and cleanliness in daily life. The laundry's location in Shepherds Bush, a popular residential area, suggests that it catered to the needs of the local community. The addition of the novelty silk handkerchief in the window display adds an Oriental touch to the advertisement. The handkerchief, with its intricate design and vibrant colors, would have been an attractive draw for potential customers. The use of silk, a luxurious and expensive material, would have signified the high quality of the laundry's services. The architecture of the building, with its red brick facade and ornate details, is reminiscent of the late Victorian era. The Chinese-inspired design elements, such as the decorative dragons and lanterns, reflect the popular Oriental style of the time. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of laundry services and advertising techniques during the late Victorian era. It also highlights the cultural influences that shaped the aesthetic of the time.
