Silver Studio - The 1930s

The 1930s

In the 1930s, the customers who bought the most designs were the big textile printers with mills in the Manchester region. For example, John Hawkins and Sons Ltd sold high quality cotton goods at low price by mail order. During this period the Silver Studio produced many designs for printed dress fabrics (for clients such as Liberty) as well as for furnishing fabrics. Interestingly, the early 1930s, a time of national economic difficulty and crisis in the textile industry, were a very fertile period for the Studio, with over 800 designs going into production annually.
