EDITORS COMMENTS
Waiting for the Loo (CHACUN SON TOUR - Each One Has His Turn) Description: This photograph, taken circa 1820, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the past. Entitled "Waiting for the Loo (CHACUN SON TOUR - Each One Has His Turn)," this image depicts a line of men patiently waiting their turn to use a communal toilet, or "loo," in an 1800s French public establishment. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of a common yet intimate aspect of everyday life that has since been largely obscured by the passage of time. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, where the only sources of light come from small windows high above the ground. The men, dressed in the fashion of the era, stand in a neat line, each with a cane or walking stick in hand. Their expressions range from calm acceptance to mild frustration, as they await their turn to relieve themselves. The simplicity and universality of the situation are striking, as is the sense of camaraderie and shared experience that binds these men together. The title of the photograph, "Each One Has His Turn," speaks to the egalitarian nature of the communal toilet system, where everyone was expected to take their turn and wait their turn in line. This practice, which was common in Europe before the widespread availability of private toilets, serves as a reminder of the historical context and societal norms of the time. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering valuable insights into the daily lives of people during the 1800s. Its historical authenticity and intriguing subject matter make it an essential addition to any collection of historical imagery or social history studies.
