Laundrymaid Ironing (Repasseuse (Ironer)) Date: Late 19th Century Description: This image, titled "Laundrymaid Ironing," depicts a domestic worker intently focusing on her ironing task in a humble household setting. The Laundrymaid, dressed in traditional attire of the late 19th century, is seated at a simple wooden table, her ironing board carefully positioned beside her. The iron, a cast-iron model with a long, flat sole and a wooden handle, rests on the table, ready for use. A stack of freshly laundered linens, still damp from the wash, is piled high nearby. The scene exudes an air of quiet determination and diligence, as the Laundrymaid meticulously presses out the creases and wrinkles from each piece of fabric. The room is dimly lit, with only the occasional flicker of a candle casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. The Laundrymaid's expression is serious, her brow furrowed in concentration as she works. The room is sparsely furnished, with only the essentials for ironing present: the iron, the board, and the linens. The Laundrymaid's role was an essential one in the household, as the care and maintenance of textiles was a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Ironing was a crucial step in ensuring that clothes and linens were clean, pressed, and ready for use. The Laundrymaid's dedication and skill were vital to the smooth running of the household, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the hard work and perseverance required to maintain a clean and orderly home in the late 19th century. This photograph, captured in the late 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Laundrymaid and the importance of ironing in the household. It is a poignant reminder of the often-unheralded labor that went into maintaining a clean and orderly home during this period.
