EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Femme portant des cruches d'eau" by Wilhelm Hammerschmidt, we are transported back to the 19th century. The image showcases a woman gracefully carrying water jugs on her head, a common sight in rural communities during that time. Hammerschmidt's attention to detail is evident in this hand-colored albumen silver print from around 1870. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, emphasizing the woman's strength and resilience as she performs her daily task. Her determined expression reflects the challenges she may have faced in fulfilling this essential role within her community. The artist, Wilhelm Hammerschmidt, was of German origin and born in Prussia. Although little is known about his personal life or artistic career, his talent for capturing everyday moments shines through in this photograph. His ability to convey emotion and tell a story through imagery is truly remarkable. This particular piece serves as a reminder of the importance of water and its significance in sustaining life. It also sheds light on the often overlooked labor carried out by women throughout history. As we admire this stunning print from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize the historical context it represents – an era where individuals like Hammerschmidt immortalized ordinary people engaged in their day-to-day activities with extraordinary artistry.
