EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 1940s, where a scene of domesticity unfolds before our eyes. A wife stands proudly in her kitchen, serving coffee and sandwiches to her card-playing husband and his friends. The room is filled with laughter and camaraderie as these men engage in their favorite pastime. The woman's smile radiates warmth and contentment as she tends to the needs of her husband and his companions. Her role as a caretaker is evident not only in the refreshments she serves but also in the way she effortlessly balances multiple tasks at once. This image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when gender roles were more defined, showcasing both the strength of women who tirelessly supported their husbands' leisure activities and the casual sexism that was prevalent during that time. As we observe this snapshot from history, it is important to reflect on how far society has come since then. While some may view this scene through nostalgic lenses, others may see it as a reminder of progress made towards gender equality. Regardless of one's interpretation, this print captures an intimate moment between couples - wives dutifully serving their husbands while they indulge in games and cigarettes - encapsulating an era long gone yet forever preserved within its frame.
