EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1910s, as a group of Edwardian gentlemen gather on the steps of a grand garden in Stockport, England. Among them are members of the renowned Battersby hatmaking family, who were at the forefront of the British hat industry during this period. The Battersby family business, established in 1853, had gained an international reputation for producing high-quality hats, and their clientele included royalty and the aristocracy. The men in this photograph exude an air of confidence and sophistication, dressed in their finest suits and hats, reflecting the prosperity and success of the Battersby business. Joining them are believed to be French business associates, likely representing the European market that was crucial to the growth of the company. The setting, with its lush greenery and ornate ironwork, adds to the sense of elegance and refinement. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the Battersby family and their business dealings during a time of great change and progress. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history of hatmaking in Stockport, which continues to be celebrated and preserved to this day. This image invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring legacy of the Battersby family and their contributions to the world of fashion and industry.
