EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the charming Swiss village of Gruyeres, nestled in the upper valley of the Saane River during the 1920s. The image showcases the daily life of local women as they gather around the fountain, washing clothes and linen. The crystal-clear water of the fountain reflects the quaint Rue des Washerwomen, where the women have set up their makeshift laundry station. The scene is filled with a sense of community and camaraderie as the women work together to clean their belongings. The traditional Swiss architecture of the village can be seen in the background, with its half-timbered houses and red-tiled roofs. The lush green hills and blue sky provide a picturesque backdrop to this timeless scene. The simple pleasures of life are on full display, as the women take advantage of the natural resources of the village to care for their families' needs. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of Gruyeres, Switzerland.
