But first, why the choice of image at the head of this page?
London's Hackney Archives holds a copy of the Clarnico sweet factory Specialties List (1906) that includes a photograph of the box-making department where foreman John Maycock (circled), my great-grandfather, appears near the back of the workshop and wearing a bow tie. Finding this publication at a time when my own work referenced the work of my forbears was of particular significance.
In the introduction to the Illustrated List I found:
"We think it probable that the conditions under which our sweets are made may be of interest to our friends and have embraced this opportunity to include some illustrations of our manufacturing departments".
I liked Clarnico's contextualization of process and product, so opted to follow their lead in the organization of this website:
"I think it possible that the conditions under which my work is made may be of interest so have included information about how and why each series of works developed, and where the work has been exhibited".
