EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Santo Domingo in 1873, offering a glimpse into the daily life of women during that era. The image showcases a group of females diligently washing clothes on the banks of a river, set against the backdrop of a lush hillside covered with dense forests. As they go about their task, their vibrant dresses stand out amidst the monochrome scene. The location itself exudes an air of tranquility and natural beauty, capturing the essence of this Caribbean paradise. Santo Domingo, situated in what is now known as the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola, was part of the Greater Antilles archipelago. The engraving skillfully captures not only the physical geography but also provides insight into social history. It offers us a window into how laundry was done at that time and highlights one aspect of women's lives in this region during this period. Although we do not know who specifically created this artwork, it is attributed to Samuel Hazard through his book "Santo Domingo: past and present, with a glance at Hayti". This historical document sheds light on various aspects related to Santo Domingo and Haiti during that time. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical record - transporting us back to 1873 Santo Domingo while reminding us of its rich cultural heritage.
