EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the quaint streets of Gullistre, France on a sunny day in June 1922. The focal point of the image is Alfieri Snr. , a hardworking individual engaged in an everyday task - washing clothes. As he stands barefoot in the middle of the street, water cascades down his arms as he diligently scrubs away at a piece of fabric draped over a wash line. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into domestic life during the 1920s, where cleanliness and hygiene were paramount. With no access to modern conveniences like washing machines or dryers, families relied on their own physical strength and determination to keep their garments clean. It was not uncommon for people to take advantage of any available space outside their homes for such chores. The scene also provides insight into the communal nature of these neighborhoods. As Alfieri Snr. goes about his task, passersby can be seen going about their daily routines - children playing nearby and locals strolling along with curiosity piqued by this picturesque sight. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a reminder that even mundane activities hold historical significance. It captures an era when personal health and cleanliness were deeply intertwined with one's sense of self-worth and societal standing. As we admire this beautiful black-and-white photograph, let it transport us back in time while appreciating how far we have come in terms of technological advancements that have made our lives
