EDITORS COMMENTS
1908: A Glimpse into the Carlton Hotel Kitchen Staff's Camaraderie This evocative group photograph, captured in November 1908, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the dedicated kitchen staff at London's prestigious Carlton Hotel. Situated in the heart of the city's West End, in the fashionable district of W1, the Carlton Hotel was renowned for its exceptional service and gourmet cuisine. The image features a group of eleven men, all dressed in their professional attire. The chefs and cooks are clad in pristine white aprons, while the porters wear smart overalls. Their arms are folded, exuding a sense of pride and unity. The manager, distinguished by his suit and neatly-groomed moustache, stands amongst his team, a testament to their collective hard work and camaraderie. The scene unfolds on the hotel rooftop, offering a unique perspective of the London skyline. The Edwardian era's charm is palpable, with the gentlemen's formal attire, the crisp white aprons, and the porters' overalls contrasting beautifully against the backdrop of the city's brick buildings and smokestacks. This photograph not only captures the essence of the Carlton Hotel's kitchen staff but also provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives of the hotel employees during the early 1900s. The men's shared laughter and relaxed demeanor suggest that despite the demanding nature of their work, they found joy and camaraderie in their shared experiences. As we delve into the history of London's hospitality industry, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human connections that underpin the culinary world and the enduring allure of the city's grand hotels.
