When this picture was taken women didn't do technical/engineering work.
Women were used extensively as operators & many worked at Cadbury's.
The writer was a male engineer.

Also I don't think the photo is a promo, it's bit gooey for that.
It's possible it appeared in the Company magazine/newsletter.

I ditto that.
It's the original image.
The one the poster has is a copy for printing, the type used in newspapers.
I wonder why someone would want to pay that kind of money for a photo
of someone scraping chocolate waste off a machine.
