EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print captures a scene from the late 19th century, showcasing two young girls diligently washing clothes in a picturesque garden. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era when household chores were an integral part of daily life. Clad in their aprons and pinafores, these Victorian children can be seen carefully pegging freshly washed garments on the line. The illustration originates from "The Little Ones Own Coloured Picture Paper" a popular magazine published by Dean and Son around 1890. It offers us a glimpse into the world of childhood during that time, highlighting the importance placed on instilling domestic skills at an early age. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every aspect of laundry day has been captured with precision. From the tub filled with soapy water to the basket brimming with clean clothes waiting to be hung, it evokes nostalgia for simpler times when manual labor was essential for maintaining cleanliness. This delightful print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements and gender roles within households. Yet, it also invites us to appreciate the innocence and simplicity found within childhood memories like helping with housework on warm summer days.
