EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Combing Room at T W Rust & Co, captured in 1892. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the industrial processes of the past. The Combing Room, located within T W Rust & Co, was a crucial part of the textile manufacturing process during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. In this image, we see a group of workers meticulously combing and carding raw wool, preparing it for the next stage of production. The room is filled with an array of combing machines, each one humming with activity as the workers deftly guide the wool through the teeth of the combs. The atmosphere in the room is a fascinating blend of industry and craftsmanship. The workers, dressed in their practical attire, focus intently on their tasks, while the natural light streaming in from the windows creates a sense of openness and airiness. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, adds an intriguing layer to the image, as if inviting us to step even closer and examine the intricacies of this bygone era. This photograph is an invaluable record of the textile industry during the late 19th century, offering a unique insight into the daily lives of the workers and the processes that shaped the textile industry of the time. With its rich historical context and captivating details, this image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in industrial history, textiles, or the social history of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
