EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this fascinating print of Wash Stands from the 1890s. The image showcases six different types of washstands, each serving a unique purpose in historical bathing and washing practices. From simple wooden structures to more elaborate designs, these pieces of equipment were essential for maintaining personal hygiene in the late 19th century.
The variety of washstands depicted in this print offers a glimpse into the diverse ways people approached cleanliness during that era. Whether used for washing hands, face, or even full-body bathing, each stand served a specific function within the household. These stands were not only practical but also reflected the social norms and values surrounding cleanliness and personal care at the time.
As you study each type of washstand closely, you can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into their design. From ornate carvings to functional features like basins and shelves, these stands were both utilitarian and decorative elements in Victorian homes.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is a valuable piece of history that sheds light on how our ancestors approached daily rituals like washing and grooming. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of sanitation practices while also highlighting the timeless importance of personal hygiene.
