EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases a scene of women ironing, depicting an era where household chores were predominantly carried out by women. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of domesticity and femininity in this piece. The advertisement for Amidon Remy, featured on this educational card, adds a touch of commercialism to the image. It serves as a reminder that even during mundane tasks like ironing, advertising played a significant role in society. The white garments being meticulously pressed symbolize cleanliness and orderliness within the home. The women depicted are dressed in fashionable attire of their time, showcasing their sense of style even while engaged in household duties. Their overall aprons protect their clothing from any potential stains or damage during the ironing process. This artwork not only provides insight into historical gender roles but also highlights the importance placed on maintaining proper appearances within one's home. It reminds us of how much has changed over time regarding domestic responsibilities and societal expectations. As we gaze upon this intriguing print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where housework was central to daily life. This snapshot offers a glimpse into both fashion trends and advertising strategies prevalent during that period – truly capturing history through artistry.
