Helping Mother, 1901 - A Glimpse into Domestic Life and Gender Roles in the Victorian Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Helping Mother, 1901" offers a poignant snapshot of domestic life in the early 20th century. Created by Andre & Sleigh and published by AW Penrose & Co. , this illustration from The Process Year Book provides a fascinating insight into the daily chores and gender dynamics of that era. The image portrays a young girl diligently assisting her mother in the kitchen. Clad in an apron and dressed modestly, she stands beside her mother who is peeling vegetables with utmost concentration. In their hands are bowls filled with carrots, onions, and cabbage leaves - ingredients for a hearty meal. While seemingly mundane at first glance, this artwork sheds light on societal expectations placed upon women during that time. It highlights both the importance of domestic work as well as its inherent sexism. The presence of children engaging in household tasks hints at child labor practices prevalent during this period. Through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, Andre & Sleigh capture not only the physical aspects but also evoke emotions associated with these scenes from everyday life. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging our shared history. As we reflect upon "Helping Mother, 1901" it prompts us to appreciate the progress made towards more inclusive roles within households while recognizing those who paved the way for change.
