EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1909, we find Arthur Walter Gamage, the visionary founder of Gamages, a renowned department store located in Holborn, London. With a confident and determined expression, Gamage gazes into the distance, his hands folded in front of him, as if deep in thought about the future of his business. The backdrop of the image is a simple, yet elegant, wooden desk, adorned with various documents and a telephone, signifying the business transactions and communication that would have taken place within its confines. The room is bathed in soft, natural light, which filters in through the tall, arched windows, casting a warm glow on Gamage's distinguished features. Arthur Walter Gamage's entrepreneurial journey began in 1877 when he opened his first shop in Holborn, selling toys and fancy goods. Over the next few decades, he expanded his business, transforming it into a department store that catered to the diverse needs of the London community. Gamage's innovative approach to retail, which included offering extended credit to customers and providing a wide range of goods under one roof, set him apart from his competitors and ensured the success of his enterprise. This photograph captures a moment in time, encapsulating the spirit of ambition, determination, and innovation that defined Arthur Walter Gamage and his groundbreaking department store, Gamages, in the heart of London during the early 20th century.
