EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Sir William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme (1851-1925), is seen donning an overcoat as he strolls through the picturesque model village of Port Sunlight, which he had built in Cheshire, England between 1888 and 1889. Lever, a renowned English soap manufacturer, is best known for founding the Lever Brothers company, which would later become Unilever. The village of Port Sunlight, named after the sunlit port of Liverpool, was designed to provide a healthy and comfortable living environment for the workers of the nearby Lever Brothers soap factory. Lever believed that by improving the living conditions of his workers, he could increase their productivity and morale. The village was planned with a focus on green spaces, community facilities, and well-designed homes. In this image, Lever appears thoughtful and introspective as he takes in the scene before him. The overcoat he wears adds an air of authority and distinction to his appearance. The photograph was taken in the late 1920s, several decades after the village's construction, and the mature trees and well-kept gardens attest to the success of Lever's vision. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a visionary industrialist and the community he created. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of social responsibility in business and the positive impact that can be made when companies prioritize the well-being of their employees.
