EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling cafeteria of Pen Corner, located on Kingsway in Westminster, Greater London. The year is 1920, and workers are seen enjoying their lunch break in this vibrant canteen above the famous shop owned by L G Sloan Limited. The image captures a moment of respite amidst the busy city life as employees gather around tables adorned with checkered tablecloths. Their faces reflect a mix of exhaustion and contentment, perhaps finding solace in each other's company during their midday meal. Pen Corner was renowned for its expertise in selling and repairing Watermans and other fine pens. It served as a haven for pen enthusiasts who sought not only quality writing instruments but also various accessories related to pens and correspondence. Photographed by Bedford Lemere & Co. , this snapshot offers an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of these hardworking individuals. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate architectural features that surround them to the meticulous arrangement of utensils on each table. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting our shared human experiences across generations.
