EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 1910s, this evocative photograph presents a woman from Normandy, France, gracefully riding a mule while skillfully balancing wooden frame panniers laden with milk cans. Dressed in the traditional attire of a milkmaid, she wears a red dress and a side saddle, exuding an air of determination and hard work. With a gentle yet focused expression, she gazes ahead, her hands poised on the reins, as if urging the mule to move faster. The idyllic rural setting, dotted with donkeys and other animals, adds to the scene's pastoral charm. The woman's words, roughly translated, convey a sense of urgency: "Monsieur Photographe, I have twelve more animals to milk - please hurry up!" This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Normandy milkmaid, showcasing her resilience and the close bond she shares with her animals.
