EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1899, where we are introduced to the dedicated Drawing Office Staff of Swindon. Standing tall in the back row, second from the left, is none other than Mr. A E Leader, a prominent figure within this talented group of individuals. His stern expression reflects his commitment and expertise as a draughtsman. In contrast, seated at the center is Mr. F W Hawksworth, exuding an air of confidence that befits his position within this esteemed gathering. As one can imagine, being situated at such a pivotal location signifies his importance and influence over their work. The atmosphere captured in this photograph speaks volumes about the era it represents - an era when meticulous attention to detail was paramount for any drawing office staff member. Their dedication to precision and accuracy shines through as they meticulously pore over blueprints and sketches on their desks. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements since those early days at Swindon's Drawing Office. It also pays homage to these unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping our world through their intricate designs. Displayed proudly at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print invites us into a bygone era filled with hard work, creativity, and innovation – qualities that continue to inspire generations even today.
