EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1959 at a printworks in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, we catch a glimpse of the bustling industrial scene that defined Britain's mid-20th century. The image showcases a remarkable folding machine, an integral part of the printing process during that era. Standing proudly beside it is a female worker engrossed in her task on the Camco folding machine. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of women's contribution to the workforce during this time period. Despite societal norms and expectations, these resilient ladies played an essential role in driving forward industries across the country. This particular woman demonstrates both skill and dedication as she expertly operates the machinery. The setting itself exudes an atmosphere of productivity and innovation. The interior of the factory is filled with various machines humming with activity, creating a symphony of industry. Each piece plays its part in transforming raw materials into printed masterpieces.
