EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a momentous occasion - the opening of the "Savonnerie Helvetia" in Switzerland. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The Savonnerie Helvetia was a significant manufacturing establishment, known for its soap production. Intriguingly, this photograph was featured as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on October 29,1898. It offers us a glimpse into the past and allows us to witness history unfold before our eyes. The image showcases a group of individuals gathered outside the Savonnerie Helvetia during its grand opening ceremony. Among them are Swissmen dressed in traditional attire, symbolizing their pride and connection to their homeland. This event marked not only an important milestone for Lever Brothers, but also for Switzerland itself. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the power of photography to preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time. Through this lens, we can appreciate both the artistic skill behind capturing such scenes and the historical significance they hold. This print from Bridgeman Images serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress while offering us a window into European history during that era – all within one frame.
