But first, why the choice of image at the head of this page?
London's Hackney Archives owns a copy of the Clarnico 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 room and wearing a bow tie.
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 appreciated Clarnico's contextualization of process and product, so opted to follow their lead thus:
"I think it possible that the conditions under which my work is made may be of interest so have included information about why and how each series of works developed, and where the work has been exhibited".
