EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this remarkable print from February 1948, we witness the extraordinary skill and dedication of two outstanding workers at Cascelloid Ltd factory in Leicester. Miss Vida Rose, adorned in plain overalls, and Miss Barbara Slater, donning flowered overall attire, are seen meticulously painting the eyes of an astounding 900 dolls per day between them. What makes their story even more fascinating is the fact that both women have a unique background. During the war, Miss Vida Rose contributed to the war effort by turning out cartridge cases. Now, she has seamlessly transitioned her talents into creating beautiful doll faces. Meanwhile, Miss Barbara Slater brings her own artistic touch to each doll's gaze. The Cascelloid Ltd factory is renowned for its production of high-quality toys and dolls. This image captures a moment where artistry meets industry as these skilled women transform simple doll heads into captivating playthings loved by children across the nation. It is truly inspiring to see how these exceptional women excel in a traditionally male-dominated field. Their commitment to their craft not only showcases their talent but also challenges societal norms of what women can achieve within the workforce. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and ingenuity displayed by individuals during challenging times like post-war Britain. It stands as a testament to these outstanding workers who contribute their skills towards bringing joy and imagination into countless homes.
