EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the frontage of a large, five-storey terraced house in West Central London, circa 1904. The grandeur of the building's facade is on full display, with its intricately detailed brickwork, ornate stonework, and tall, narrow windows. The house, which may have been part of a grand square, row, or street, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. At the center of the image, a housekeeper can be seen standing on the pavement, her back to the camera, as she goes about her daily chores. Dressed in a long, dark skirt and a white blouse with a apron, she holds a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. Her expression is focused and determined, as she meticulously sweeps the sidewalk in front of the house. The housekeeper's presence adds a sense of scale and context to the image, reminding us of the vast array of staff that would have been required to maintain the grandeur of a house of this size in the early 1900s. The image also serves as a reminder of the social hierarchy that existed during this period, with the housekeeper occupying a position of servitude, yet essential to the smooth running of the household. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of grand houses, dedicated staff, and a sense of order and routine.
