A Laundry Worker's Daily Toil: The Humble Dolly Tub and Stock, 1911 This evocative image captures the daily routine of a laundress as she toils over a dolly tub and stock, meticulously cleaning clothes prior to the invention of the washing machine. The laundress, dressed in a simple apron and with a determined expression on her face, deftly maneuvers the heavy dolly tub filled with soapy water, using the stock to wring out the clothes. The worn-out wooden floorboards, the faded wallpaper, and the cluttered surroundings of the room add to the sense of nostalgia and the passing of time. The dolly tub, a common household item during the early 20th century, was an essential tool for doing laundry. Made of wood or metal, it was used to hold water for washing clothes. The stock, a long pole with a flat end, was used to press and wring out the clothes, extracting the water and dirt. The process of washing clothes by hand was labor-intensive and time-consuming, often taking several hours to complete a single load. The invention of the washing machine in the late 19th century revolutionized the way laundry was done, but for many years, the dolly tub and stock remained a staple in households, especially in rural areas or for families with large households. This image serves as a reminder of the hard work and dedication of the laundresses who kept their families clothed and clean before the convenience of modern appliances. This photograph, taken in 1911, is a poignant snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily chores and routines of the past. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of people in the face of hard work and the passage of time.
