EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a glimpse into the bustling coal trade of late Victorian Liverpool. The image showcases the elegant stationery of S B Jackson & Son, Coal Merchants, located on Castle Street in 1889. The intricate lettering and ornate design of their billhead, letterhead, invoice, and receipt reflect the attention to detail and professionalism that was characteristic of businesses during this era.
The photograph transports us back in time to an age when handwritten correspondence was the norm, showcasing the beautiful penmanship of Mr. Kirby Cook who likely handled all communications for the company. The net cash trade business conducted by Jackson & Son is evident from their meticulously kept records as seen in this snapshot.
Located on Castle Street, a hub of commercial activity in Liverpool at that time, S B Jackson & Son would have played a vital role in supplying coal to fuel homes and businesses throughout the city. This print serves as a reminder of a bygone era when merchants like Jackson & Son were essential cogs in the industrial machine driving economic growth.
Terry Parker has captured not just an image but a piece of history with this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a testament to craftsmanship and commerce that defined an era long past but still resonates with us today.
