EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful moment of leisure and camaraderie: The Works Picnic of Messrs. C & E Lewis - Shoe Manufacturers, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, 1904. This photograph showcases a works picnic held by Messrs. C & E Lewis, a prominent shoe manufacturing company based in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, in the year 1904. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the employees and their families during the early 20th century. The scene is set in a picturesque outdoor location, with lush greenery and a clear blue sky overhead. The men, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen engaging in various activities, such as playing cricket, having a friendly game of bowls, and enjoying a hearty meal together. The women and children are gathered around tables, chatting and laughing as they partake in a communal feast. The spirit of unity and companionship is palpable in this image, as the employees and their loved ones take a break from their daily routines to enjoy each other's company and celebrate the camaraderie that exists within the workplace. This tradition of holding works picnics was a common practice during the Industrial Revolution, allowing employees to form stronger bonds and fostering a sense of community within the company. This photograph is a precious reminder of the human side of industrial history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who made up the workforce of Messrs. C & E Lewis and the role that community and leisure played in their lives.
