EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures one of the three wings of the General Offices in Port Sunlight, a model village located in Wirral, Merseyside. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The General Offices were an integral part of Port Sunlight's history as they accommodated workers from Lever Brothers, who manufactured soap and other products for Unilever. The photograph showcases the socially benevolent approach taken by Lever Brothers towards their employees. The village was designed to provide a healthy and pleasant living environment for workers, with facilities such as schools, parks, and recreational spaces. The General Offices housed both clerical staff and machinery required for administrative work. In this image, men and women can be seen engaged in various tasks related to accounting using adding machines. This highlights the importance placed on efficient administration within the company. The caption emphasizes that this photo should not be used for commercial purposes or associated directly with any specific company. Overall, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Port Sunlight as a pioneering example of socially responsible capitalism during its time.
