"Port Sunlight: A Record of Its Artistic & Pictorial Aspect" by T. Raffles Davison is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book focuses on the unique industrial village of Port Sunlight, established as a model of ideal living conditions for workers, showcasing its artistic and architectural features. It emphasizes the vision of its founder, Sir William Hesketh Lever, who aimed to create a harmonious community that blended practical living with aesthetic beauty. The book details the design principles and planning behind Port Sunlight, explaining how the village stands out from typical industrial housing through its thoughtful layout, artistic architecture, and communal spaces. Davison discusses the impact of the village on its residents and the broader implications of such initiatives for industrial communities. The combination of well-planned cottages, green spaces, and public amenities highlights both the practical needs of workers and the aspirational ideals that define the character of Port Sunlight. With photographs and illustrations, the author paints a vivid picture of a forward-thinking model village that champions the importance of incorporating beauty into everyday life.
