EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the late 19th century in Belgium, specifically Liege. The image showcases a group of women gracefully carrying baskets on their shoulders, exuding strength and resilience. Taken between 1890 and 1900 by an unidentified author, this photograph captures a moment frozen in history. The women's attire reflects the popular fashion trends of that era, with their clothing elegantly draped around them. Their faces are filled with determination as they navigate through their daily tasks, showcasing the unwavering spirit of hardworking individuals. The baskets they carry on their shoulders are crafted from straw, an object that not only serves a practical purpose but also represents the applied arts and crafts prevalent during this period. These handmade creations were essential tools for these women as they went about their daily lives. As we gaze upon this portrait, we cannot help but be drawn into the scene before us. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside these strong-willed women as they go about their duties. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an entire era's essence - one characterized by industriousness and unity among communities. Although the identity of the photographer remains unknown, we owe them our gratitude for capturing such a powerful image that transcends time itself. It serves as a reminder of how ordinary people can leave extraordinary imprints on history through simple acts like carrying baskets on their shoulders. This print from Alinari allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the beauty found within everyday life – reminding us that even seemingly mundane tasks hold significance when viewed through historical lenses.
