EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling packing department of the Players cigarette factory in Nottingham, England on a significant day - 20th April 1933. The image showcases a group of hardworking female workers diligently engaged in their tasks amidst stacks of boxes, packets, and machinery. In this snapshot from the 1930s, we catch a glimpse of an era when tobacco production was at its peak. These women-only workers played an integral role in the thriving industry that catered to the smoking habits prevalent during that time. Their dedication and expertise are evident as they meticulously handle each packet with care. The composition highlights both the scale and precision required for packaging cigarettes on such a large scale. The repetitive nature of their work is juxtaposed against their individuality, as each worker focuses intently on her task while contributing to the collective effort. Photographer Leslie Cardew skillfully captures this moment in history, immortalizing these unsung heroes who powered Nottinghamshire's economy during those years. This photograph serves as a reminder of not only the industrial progress made by factories like Players but also sheds light on gender dynamics within workplaces during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints, it prompts us to reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging and appreciating these pioneering women who paved the way for future generations in industries traditionally dominated by men.
