EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage illustration by Umberto Brunelleschi, we are transported back to a time when household service was an integral part of daily life. The scene depicts a conversation between a mother and her daughter, as they discuss the challenges of being a new servant. The mother warns her daughter about the demanding nature of the job, but the daughter reassures her that it will be easier than taking care of eight cows in the countryside. The focal point of the image is a maid using a perfume spray to delicately scent a woman dressed in lingerie. This intimate moment captures both the luxury and sensuality associated with domestic service during this era. The attention to detail in their attire and surroundings showcases Brunelleschi's artistic skill. This illustration originally appeared in "Le Lire" on June 13th, 1908, adding historical context to its depiction of early 20th-century society. It serves as a reminder of how societal roles have evolved over time and offers us insight into past customs and traditions. Overall, this print invites us to reflect on themes such as class dynamics, femininity, and labor divisions within households. It stands as both an aesthetically pleasing piece of art and an intriguing glimpse into history.
