EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Women Filling Egg Shells and Skins with Water, c1880" offers a glimpse into the daily life of African women in the 19th century. The image showcases a group of females engaged in their chores outdoors, carrying out an essential task - filling egg shells and skins with water. The sepia-toned print captures the resilience and resourcefulness of these women as they navigate their surroundings to access a watering hole. With grace and strength, they balance the fragile vessels on their heads while ensuring that every drop is collected for their community's needs. This monochrome portrait not only highlights the physical labor involved but also symbolizes unity among these women who work together towards a common goal. Their semi-dressed attire reflects both practicality and cultural norms prevalent during that era. Published as part of "The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone The Great Missionary Traveller" by Adam & Co. , this image provides valuable insight into Dr. David Livingstone's exploration journey through Africa. As we admire this historical snapshot, let us appreciate the unyielding spirit exhibited by these remarkable individuals who carried out their daily tasks with dignity amidst challenging circumstances.
