EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 1930s in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. In this intimate close-up view, we witness the hands of a sister diligently ironing with a flat iron at the historic Hancock Shaker village. The monochromatic tones add an air of nostalgia and highlight the weathered appearance of this senior woman's hands. Her skilled fingers glide effortlessly over the fabric, revealing years of experience and dedication to her craft. The primitive yet effective tool she wields symbolizes an era when household chores were done by hand. Located in North America's United States, Pittsfield was home to the Shakers - a religious community known for their simplicity and craftsmanship. This image offers us a glimpse into their way of life as we see this worker immersed in her daily routine within one of their humble dwellings. As we contemplate this vintage photograph from Underwood Archives' collection, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then. It invites us to appreciate both our modern conveniences and those who came before us, whose labor laid the foundation for our present comforts.
