EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the impressive Messers Lever Brothers Soap Works in Port Sunlight, near Birkenhead. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the grandeur of the soap manufacturing facility. The intricate architecture of the buildings is on full display, with its towering structures and elegant design. The photo provides a glimpse into the inner workings of the soap works. In one corner, we see workers diligently tending to large vats in what appears to be a soap boiling room. The scene exudes a sense of industry and hard work as these individuals play their part in producing quality soaps. Beyond just showcasing the manufacturing process, this image also highlights other aspects of life at Port Sunlight. In addition to the factory itself, there are glimpses of workmen's houses nearby, providing insight into how Lever Brothers took care of their employees' welfare. This print was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News back in December 1890. It has since become part of a private collection but remains an important historical document capturing not only industrial production but also architectural beauty and social history. Overall, this photograph offers us a fascinating window into both past industrial practices and daily life during that era.
