EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene scene of Korean women diligently washing clothes in a river. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the beauty of this everyday task, showcasing the rich culture and history of Korea. Set against a backdrop of a mountain river, these women can be seen immersed in their work, focused on ensuring each garment is cleaned with care. Their dedication and attention to detail are evident as they scrub away dirt and stains from the clothing. The image transports us back to early 20th century Korea, providing us with a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking women. It serves as a reminder that even mundane chores like laundry hold significance in shaping our understanding of different cultures and traditions. The lithograph was originally created by E. H. Fitchew for Frank Elias' book "The Far East" published in 1913. Its inclusion in this private collection highlights its historical value and artistic merit. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of the importance placed on cleanliness but also how it connects people across time and continents. This print is truly an exquisite representation of Asian ethnicity, capturing both the beauty found within nature's elements and human endeavors alike.
