Boxes Soap Sunlight Wirral Nailing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled 'Nailing wood boxes, Port Sunlight soap factory, Wirral,' transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the meticulous process of crafting wooden soap boxes at the Port Sunlight soap factory located in Wirral, England. The scene is set in an open-air workshop, where the air is filled with the scent of freshly cut wood and the sound of hammering. Workers, dressed in typical Edwardian attire, are intently focused on their task, nailing the sides of the wooden boxes together. Each box, once completed, will be filled with the beloved Port Sunlight soap and shipped to markets and stores across the country. The photograph's composition is framed by the tall, arched windows of the factory, allowing natural light to cascade in and illuminate the scene. A vintage lantern, placed on a nearby table, adds an extra layer of warmth and intrigue to the image. The overall effect is one of industriousness, creativity, and the enduring charm of a bygone era. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the artisanal methods used to produce the iconic Port Sunlight soap during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind the brand and the dedication of the workers who played a crucial role in its success.
