A Nurturing Old Woman - Cooking Broth for Her Large Family in a Victorian-era Kitchen
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1899 illustration from Mary Evans Picture Library, we find ourselves peering into the cozy, cluttered kitchen of an old woman who lived in a shoe, as told in the beloved nursery rhyme. The scene is filled with the warmth and comfort of a loving home, where the woman, dressed in an apron and wearing slippers, is in the midst of preparing a hearty pot of broth for her numerous children. The old woman's kitchen is adorned with a wood-burning stove, a door leading to the outside world, and a window that lets in the late afternoon light. A kitten curiously pokes its head from under the kitchen table, adding to the lively atmosphere. On the table, we see onions and other ingredients, ready to be chopped and added to the pot. The old woman's laundry hangs out to dry on a line, while an axe leans against the wall, a reminder of the practicality and resourcefulness required to maintain such a large family in the 1890s. The woman's face is filled with determination and love as she stirs the pot, ensuring that her children will be well-fed and cared for. This charming illustration, titled "She made them some broth," by Hassall, invites us to appreciate the hard work and dedication of women in the past, who managed to keep their families together and happy despite the challenges they faced. It is a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and the simple pleasures of home cooking.
