EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print from 1961, we see a group of women clad in luxurious fur coats at a food exhibition held at Wilsic Cricket Club near Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The event was organized by the Danish Bacon Company to showcase their new rotisserie machines from the Rotiss-O-Mat Ltd Company based in London. Grocers and shopkeepers from the Doncaster area were invited to explore these innovative cooking devices. Amongst the crowd, it is impossible not to notice the women's elegant attire - fur coats that were highly coveted during the post-war years as a symbol of prosperity. However, public opinion would soon shift dramatically against wearing real fur, particularly during the 1970s. The image captures a moment frozen in time when fur coats represented status and success. These fashionable ladies exude confidence as they engage with the latest culinary advancements on display. Their presence at this exhibition reflects their involvement in both fashion trends and business ventures. Photographed by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where industry innovation met sartorial elegance. It serves as a reminder of how societal values evolve over time while showcasing an intriguing intersection between fashion, technology, and commerce.
