EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Ironing Room of the Convent and Homes of the Good Shepherd in East Finchley. The image, taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, provides a glimpse into daily life within this religious institution.
The room is filled with rows of ironing boards, each meticulously set up for the sisters who reside there to press their garments. The simplicity of the scene is contrasted by the intricate details captured in the photograph - from the patterns on the wallpaper to the vintage irons resting on wooden tables.
As we peer into this snapshot of history, we are transported back to a time when tasks like ironing were done by hand with care and precision. The dedication and hard work of these women can be felt through their absence in this moment frozen in time.
This print serves as a reminder of a bygone era, where communal living and manual labor were integral parts of daily life. It invites us to reflect on our own modern conveniences and appreciate the simplicity and beauty found in even the most mundane tasks.
