EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of CWS Cabinet Works in Enfield, London, likely dating back to the 1920s or 1930s. The image transports us to an era of intricate craftsmanship and industrial innovation. The photograph showcases the bustling interior of the cabinet works, with an array of workers meticulously assembling and sanding intricate pieces of furniture. The atmosphere is a harmonious blend of the traditional and the modern, as Victorian and Edwardian styles coexist alongside the emerging trends of the time. The workers, dressed in overalls and aprons, are engrossed in their tasks, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and dedication. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a large lantern slide projector in the foreground, suggesting that photography played an essential role in documenting and showcasing the company's wares. This could have been an early marketing tool, allowing potential clients to view the cabinet works' offerings in greater detail. The CWS Cabinet Works, a cooperative society, was a wholesale furniture business that catered to the growing demand for quality furniture during this period. The cooperative movement, which emphasized fair wages and shared profits, was gaining popularity during this time, and the CWS Cabinet Works was a testament to this trend. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of furniture making in London and the importance of the cooperative movement in shaping the business landscape of the time. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the people, processes, and trends that shaped the furniture industry during the 1920s and 1930s.
