EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history, showcasing an illuminated list of employees who generously contributed to Ebenezer Hall's wedding presents. On the momentous occasion of his marriage to Sarah Wilkinson on February 17th, 1876, this heartfelt gesture was accompanied by a stunning sterling silver tea and coffee service and inkstand. The text accompanying the list offers warm congratulations to the newlyweds while requesting their acceptance of these exquisite gifts. The names that follow are those of the dedicated foremen and skilled workmen from Shrewsbury Works who joined forces in creating this memorable offering. At the bottom of this remarkable list stands out one name: R. W. Harrison, Illuminator, residing at 165 South Street in Park, Sheffield. His expertise as an illuminator undoubtedly played a crucial role in bringing forth this beautifully adorned tribute. Preserved within Sheffield City Archives with reference X386/1, this photograph transports us back to a time when celebrations were marked by genuine camaraderie and thoughtful gestures. It serves as a testament not only to Martin, Hall and Company but also to the close-knit community that thrived within Sheffield's city center on Broad Street. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both personal joy and collective unity—a timeless reminder that love and appreciation have always been cherished values throughout history.
