EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How Clothes are washed in the Transvaal" takes us back to the late 19th century South Africa, providing a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants. The image, captured by an unknown South African photographer, showcases a scene that was common during that era. In this historical photograph, we see women gathered around a water source in the Transvaal region. They are engaged in the laborious task of washing clothes by hand. Their faces reflect determination and resilience as they scrub vigorously to remove dirt and stains from garments. The composition exudes authenticity and offers valuable insights into the lives of ordinary people during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in laundry practices. This particular print is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" published by The Art Photo-Publishing Company around 1890. The use of gravure printing adds depth to the image, enhancing its visual impact. As we admire this remarkable piece from history, it is important to acknowledge both its artistic value and cultural significance.
