EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the bustling world of Inner Office and Shop, Pether's Sign Makers, London, as captured in this evocative photograph from November 1903. The Edwardian era office space is a hive of activity, with signs of various shapes and sizes taking center stage. The sign maker, intently focused on his craft, carefully carves intricate designs into a piece of wood, while his assistant meticulously paints letters onto another sign. The women in the background are busy at work, sorting through stacks of letters and papers, while a decorator adds the final touches to a newly completed sign. The walls of the shop are adorned with an array of completed signs, each one a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Pether's Sign Makers team. The atmosphere is one of industry and creativity, with the hum of activity and the scent of fresh paint filling the air. The scene is a snapshot of the thriving trade of sign making in early 20th century London, a time when the city was teeming with small businesses and entrepreneurs seeking to make their mark. This photograph, taken by Terry Parker, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the art of sign making was a vital part of the urban landscape. It is a reminder of the importance of small businesses and the hardworking individuals who brought them to life, and a celebration of the craftsmanship and creativity that went into creating the signs that helped define the city.
