EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a woman named Mrs. George performing the weekly wash in a back yard in South Wales during the industrial era. The year is not specified, but the image transports us back in time with its authentic details. The woman is dressed in an apron and wears a sash around her waist, as she leans over an old dolly tub filled with clothes. Two young boys, identified as Lyndon (the youngest, seated in a chair) and an unnamed toddler, watch curiously from the left side of the frame. The setting is that of a humble terraced house, with a window looking out from behind the woman, and a coal miner's chair nearby, hinting at the family's connection to the local colliery. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life and working conditions of the mining community in South Wales during the industrial age. The dolly tub, a common household item used for washing clothes before the advent of modern washing machines, adds to the historical significance of the scene. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships and simple pleasures of life in the past.
