EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the St. Margarets Works of Hay and Robertson, Linen and Cotton Manufacturers in Dunfermline, Scotland, during the early 1900s. Established in 1866, Hay and Robertson were renowned for their high-quality damask cloths, napkins, and towels, which were prized for their intricate designs and fine textures. The company's success was a testament to the thriving textile industry in Scotland during the Edwardian era. In this image, a plume of smoke rises from the chimney of the factory, a symbol of the industriousness and innovation taking place within. The workers, dressed in typical Edwardian attire, can be seen busily tending to the looms, their concentration unbroken as they weave the intricate patterns that would become the signature of Hay and Robertson's textiles. The raw materials, bales of linen and cotton, are piled high, ready to be transformed into the finished products that would be shipped to customers around the world. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a Scottish textile factory during a time when the industry was at the forefront of the country's economic and cultural identity. The intricate designs and fine textures produced by Hay and Robertson continue to be sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, making this photograph not only a historical record but also a reminder of the rich heritage of Scottish textile manufacturing.
