EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Two laundry women outside a starchers shop. 1831" takes us back to Georgian Camberwell in England. The scene depicts two washerwomen engaged in a heated argument outside Dorothy Dump's Clear Starcher shop. The sign above the door proudly displays her name and occupation. The aunt and niece find themselves entangled in a rivalry over the affections of Orlando, a talented tailor. This satirical drawing from Thomas Rowlandson humorously portrays this common fact of society, where love and competition often collide. The handcoloured wood engraving is part of W. H. Harrison's The Humourist, published as a companion for the Christmas Fireside in 1831 by Rudolph Ackermann on Strand Street, London. This artwork provides us with an intriguing glimpse into everyday life during the early nineteenth century. It captures not only the bustling population but also the various craftspeople who played vital roles within society. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this engraving transports us to a time when customs and traditions were paramount. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary on British culture at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while marveling at Rowlandson's artistic talent in capturing such lively scenes from our past.
