EDITORS COMMENTS
Ironing in the Public Laundry (Klodshans), 1913 This evocative photograph captures the scene of a public laundry, or Klodshans, in 1913. The image transports us back in time to an era when communal laundry facilities were a common feature in working-class neighborhoods. The room is filled with women, each focused intently on their ironing tasks, their expressions reflecting a sense of determination and concentration. The ironing boards are set up in a long row, with large pots of water simmering on the stove at the back of the room. The women use long-handled tongs to transfer the hot irons from the stove to their work, their faces a mix of concentration and slight discomfort as they handle the scalding hot implements. The room is filled with the pungent aroma of damp clothes and hot iron, a familiar scent from a time when laundry was a labor-intensive and time-consuming chore. The women's clothing and hairstyles provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 20th century. Some wear simple, practical dresses, while others sport more ornate, frilly garments. A few women wear headscarves or bonnets, their hair hidden from view. The ironing implements themselves are also a testament to the technology of the time, with heavy, cast-iron irons and long-handled wooden spoons used to transfer the hot irons from the stove. The public laundry served as a social hub for women in the community, a place where they could gather, chat, and share stories while they worked. The communal nature of the laundry helped to alleviate the isolation and monotony of the ironing process, making it a more bearable and even enjoyable experience. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of working-class women during a time when household chores were a significant part of their daily routine.
