EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the daily scene of Washer Women in Bermuda during the 1910s. The image showcases two women skillfully balancing large bundles of freshly washed linen, sheets, and clothes atop a laden donkey cart. The women, dressed in traditional Bermudan attire, expertly maneuver the cart's spoked wheels, guiding the donkey along the coastal path. The Washer Women of Bermuda were an essential part of the island's history, providing a vital service to the community. They would collect laundry from households, wash it in the clear waters of the sea, and then transport it back to be hung out to dry. This labor-intensive process required strength, endurance, and a keen sense of balance, as evidenced by the women's ability to load their carts high with bundles of wet laundry. The donkey, a common mode of transportation in Bermuda during this time, provided the necessary muscle power to transport the heavy loads over the island's hilly terrain. The women's baskets, carefully balanced on the cart, were filled with freshly washed items, ready to be returned to their owners. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the Washer Women of Bermuda and the important role they played in the community. The image's timeless quality and the women's determined expressions transport us back to a simpler time, reminding us of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
