EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Port Sunlight's "Poets Corner" a faithful reproduction of William Shakespeare's birthplace. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. Port Sunlight, located in Wirral, Merseyside, was established by Lever Brothers as a model village to accommodate their soap factory workers. This socially benevolent endeavor aimed to provide not only housing but also a healthy and prosperous environment for its residents. In this photograph, we see the replica of Shakespeare's birthplace standing proudly amidst the picturesque surroundings of Port Sunlight. The attention to detail in recreating every aspect of the original structure is evident, showcasing the historical significance that Shakespeare holds even outside his literary realm. The presence of Poets Corner within this manufacturing hub symbolizes more than just an homage to one of England's greatest playwrights; it represents how art and culture can thrive alongside capitalism and production. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that history has been carefully preserved here—a testament to both human ingenuity and reverence for heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in bustling industrial landscapes like Port Sunlight, beauty can be found at every corner if one knows where to look.
