EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Window cleaning" offers a glimpse into domestic life during that era. The image showcases a servant woman diligently attending to her daily task of cleaning windows. With meticulous attention to detail, she scrubs away at the windowpane, perched on a windowsill high above the ground. The illustration was originally created for Cassells Family Magazine in 1880, providing readers with an insight into the everyday chores carried out by household staff during this period. It beautifully captures the essence of cleanliness and orderliness that were highly valued in Victorian homes. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of domestic tasks but also in its representation of gender roles within society at that time. The housemaid depicted here exemplifies the dedication and hard work expected from women working as servants during this era. Through this print, we are transported back to a bygone age where spring cleaning was an essential part of maintaining a well-kept home. The engravings' intricate details and skilled craftsmanship highlight both the artistry involved in creating such works and their ability to provide glimpses into our shared history. This particular print is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, preserving these valuable pieces for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
