EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive 1 ton steam roaster at Cadburys chocolate works in Bournville, Birmingham. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a significant moment in the history of chocolate manufacturing. The photograph is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in the book "Cocoa: All About It" by Historicus, published in London in 1892. The image provides a glimpse into the inner workings of the factory, highlighting the importance of steam power during that era. Intriguingly detailed, this picture reveals cocoa pods and beans alongside various indoor plants, emphasizing their significance to botany and natural history. The scene also includes shelves filled with chocolates inside what appears to be a sweet shop or candy store within the factory premises. This historical photograph sheds light on not only the process of making chocolate but also its role as a vital food supply industry. With mentions of sugar manufacturing and factories, it underscores how Cadburys played a crucial role in shaping Britain's industrial landscape during that time. The black and white aesthetic adds to its charm while providing us with a visual connection to our past. This image serves as both an educational tool for understanding early industrial practices and a testament to Cadbury's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most iconic brands.
