EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the intricate and meticulous process of hat-making at Battersby's Hatworks. In the image, Walter Battersby, the milliner, stands on the right, overseeing the operation of a settling machine. The settling machine, a crucial piece of equipment in the millinery industry, was responsible for shaping and finishing the brims of hats to ensure they held their shape and had a smooth, even surface. The scene at Battersby's Hatworks is far from hurried. The calm and focused expression on Walter's face, as well as the orderly arrangement of hats and hat components surrounding the machine, suggest that this is a well-rehearsed and deliberate process. The costumes and attire of the workers add to the historical charm of the photograph, transporting us back in time to an era when millinery was a highly skilled and artisanal craft. The hatworks, with its industrial machinery and dedicated workforce, was a hub of innovation and creativity in the fashion industry. The hats produced here were prized for their high quality and attention to detail, making Battersby's a respected name in millinery circles. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of hat-making and the importance of skilled craftsmanship in the production of fashionable headwear.
