EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Sheffield in 1889. The image showcases an advertisement for Kittel, Wilisch and Co. , prominent steel manufacturers located at Nos. 41-43 Arundel Street. The company founders, Theodor Bruno Kittel and Gottfried Hugo Wilisch, both hailed from German origins but had made their home in Broomhill at 28 Watson Road. It was in this year that they were granted British citizenship, a testament to their dedication and contribution to the local community. The photograph captures the essence of Sheffield's industrial prowess during this era. With its towering factories and smoke-filled skies, it serves as a reminder of the city's rich history in steel production. Displayed prominently on a wall within the city center, this advertisement would have caught the attention of passersby with its bold typography and striking visuals. It symbolizes not only the success of Kittel, Wilisch and Co. , but also represents Sheffield as a hub for innovation and manufacturing excellence. Preserved meticulously by Pawson and Brailsford, publishers based in Sheffield at that time, this image is now part of the esteemed collection housed at Sheffield Local Studies Library. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot today, we are transported back to an era when steel reigned supreme in shaping cities like Sheffield – where hard work met ingenuity to forge a prosperous future.
