EDITORS COMMENTS
Mending Day" is a charming and evocative photograph by Ethel Parkinson, capturing a moment of quiet domesticity and childhood innocence from the early 20th century. The image features a young Dutch girl, dressed in traditional clothing and seated at a simple wooden table. In her hands, she holds a pair of mended breeches, the hem of which she is carefully sewing with a needle and thread. To her side, a shy little Dutch boy stands, his modesty protected by a towel draped around his waist. He appears to be uncomfortable with the situation, perhaps feeling self-conscious about being seen in such a vulnerable state. The girl, however, seems focused and unbothered by his presence, her expression one of determination and concentration. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of various mending tools - a pair of scissors, a basket of patches, and a pile of clothes waiting to be repaired. The table is also adorned with a pair of clogs, adding to the authenticity of the setting. The photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the past, when mending clothes was a necessary and important task. It also highlights the role of women in maintaining the household and caring for their families. The image is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and routines of daily life in a bygone era. Ethel Parkinson's "Mending Day" is a treasure trove of historical detail and human emotion, inviting us to pause and reflect on the past, and the enduring bonds of family and community.
