EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the daily life of women at the fountain and washing facilities of San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy. The engraving is based on H. Catenacci's drawing and was created to illustrate Francis Wey's journey to Tuscany and Umbria in 1875. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876, this piece is part of the Selva Collection. In this scene, we see women gathered around a beautiful stone fountain, engaged in their domestic chores. With linen baskets by their side, they diligently wash clothes while conversing with one another. Their traditional attire adds an authentic touch to the setting, showcasing Italian customs from that era. The artist skillfully captures both the practicality and beauty of this everyday task. The flowing water from the fountain provides a serene backdrop as these hardworking women go about their duties. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly preserves this historical moment for us to admire today. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Catenacci's original drawing but also offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during that time period. This enchanting image serves as a reminder of how even mundane activities can be transformed into works of art when viewed through an artistic lens.
