EDITORS COMMENTS
"This intriguing photograph captures the ingenious invention of the Lingerie Modesty Screen, designed by W.H. Robinson, for those who prefer to keep their undergarments discreet while hanging them out to dry. The image, dated back to the early 20th century, showcases the screen in action, enclosing offending items from view on a washing line. The modesty screen was a simple yet effective solution to address the embarrassment and unease that came with airing personal underwear in public. The invention of the modesty screen was a testament to the societal norms and values of the time, where privacy and modesty were highly regarded. The screen, made of a lightweight and translucent material, allowed the sun to reach the clothes while keeping them hidden from prying eyes. The photograph, taken by Pollinger Ltd and now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library, adds a touch of historical humor to the mundane task of laundry. It serves as a reminder of the past and the evolution of attitudes towards privacy and personal belongings. The Lingerie Modesty Screen, a simple yet effective invention, continues to resonate with us today, as we strive to maintain our privacy and dignity in our daily lives. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and intriguing perspective on a common household chore."
