Some of these 1947 dolls for your children are coming off the moving belt
Some of these 1947 dolls for your children are coming off the moving belt. In Britains largest toy factory at Lines Workshops, at Merton there are slogans displayed - " More dolls mean more dollars" - but this also means that the more produced the more will be available for the home market as a proportion of the output is so allotted. London, 29th October 1947

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling toy factory of 1947. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to Lines Workshops, Britain's largest toy factory located in Merton, London. The scene is filled with an array of dolls gracefully coming off the moving belt, ready to bring joy and delight to children everywhere. The slogans displayed on the walls catch our attention - "More dolls mean more dollars". These words remind us that while this production line aims to generate profit, it also signifies a greater availability of these cherished toys for families across the country. Each doll represents not only a potential source of revenue but also a symbol of happiness and wonderment. In this snapshot from history, we witness women diligently working alongside machinery as they contribute their skills and expertise towards creating these beloved playthings. Their dedication is evident as they ensure each doll meets the highest standards before being sent out into the world. As we reflect on this moment frozen in time, let us appreciate the significance of this industry in shaping childhood memories during an era marked by resilience and rebuilding after World War II. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst challenges, creativity thrives and brings forth treasures that transcend generations.
