"From Arkansawyers to Salinas Valley: A Journey Through Laundry Rooms" Step back in time to 1939, where water supply for ten cabins in the picturesque Arkansawyers auto camp was a vital necessity. Dorothea Lange's lens captures the essence of this laundry room, a hub of activity and cleanliness amidst the beauty of Greenfield, Salinas Valley, California. Meanwhile, in New Orleans downtown street during 1936, Walker Evans immortalizes another laundry room scene. The bustling Louisiana city comes alive as residents go about their daily chores with determination and resilience. Traveling across continents and eras, we find ourselves at South Kensington's National Training School of Cookery. Here lies not only a cookery room but also a laundry room - two spaces dedicated to nurturing skills that sustain life itself. Long Grove Hospital in Surrey takes us even further back in time to 1910. Within its walls stands a humble yet essential laundry room that serves patients' needs while offering solace and comfort during difficult times. Venturing into art history brings us face-to-face with Jean Baptiste Moret's masterpiece "La Savonneuse. " This captivating painting from the late 18th century depicts an anonymous washerwoman immersed in her work - an ode to those who labor tirelessly behind closed doors. In Stockholm's Mora Skansen Open Air Museum circa 1925, an interior view reveals a well-equipped laundry room ready to tackle any stain or wrinkle. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and progress throughout the ages. Jean-Simeon Chardin transports us back even further with his depiction of "The Laundress" from the 1730s. In this intimate portrait, he captures both the physicality and grace required for such demanding work - reminding us that every task holds its own inherent dignity. Fast forward to 1867 when ironing rooms became commonplace within laundries.
