"Slips: A Glimpse into the Past and Present" Step back in time to 1912 at The Lobnitz Shipyard, Renfrew, Scotland. Workers meticulously maneuvered massive vessels onto the slips, readying them for their maiden voyages. In David Wright's captivating artwork titled "Good Morning. ", a vibrant scene unfolds as a woman gracefully adjusts her slip before starting her day with confidence and elegance. The year is 1939, and amidst the excitement of a County Cricket Match, Gover of Surrey skillfully takes a wicket in the slips. The crowd erupts with cheers as his team celebrates this triumphant moment. Transport yourself to 1932 when women's lingerie took center stage. Delicate lace-trimmed slips adorned mannequins, showcasing femininity and allure in an era defined by timeless fashion. David Wright's masterpiece "Caught in the Slips" captures a fleeting moment frozen in time. With subtle sensuality, it portrays a woman adjusting her slip while exuding poise and sophistication. Amidst household chores of yesteryears, Thor Washing Machine revolutionized laundry routines with its innovative design. No longer burdened by handwashing garments or scrubbing stains out on washboards – slipping clothes into this modern marvel became effortless. Gorringes' advert from 1927 showcases exquisite women's underwear that transcends mere functionality; it becomes an expression of personal style and individuality - empowering women to feel beautiful from within. Market Reports from various commodity markets provide insights into economic trends where prices rise or fall like waves upon which fortunes can be made or lost - all hinging on small slips of information that shape global trade landscapes. Witness cricket legends Don Bradman batting at Perth while Hammond stands alertly in the slips position. Their partnership exemplifies teamwork as they strategize against opponents during intense matches filled with anticipation and excitement. Turn to June 1921, where a page of fashion adverts unveils the latest trends.
