EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of life along the Thiou canal in Annecy, France, back in 1937. The talented artist Martin Hurlimann skillfully portrays a scene that transports us to a bygone era. In the foreground, women can be seen diligently engaged in their daily task of doing laundry right in the canal's clear waters. With buckets and tubs at hand, they expertly scrub clothes against washboards, creating ripples on the surface. The picturesque backdrop showcases the magnificent 12th-century Palais de l'Isle standing tall amidst its reflection on the tranquil waterway. This architectural gem adds an air of history and grandeur to this otherwise ordinary chore taking place before it. Hurlimann's illustration was featured in his renowned work titled "Frankreich: Baukunst, Landschaft Und Volksleben" which delved into French architecture, landscapes, and people. Through this image alone, one can appreciate his keen eye for detail as he masterfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of everyday life during that time period. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to both Hurlimann's artistic prowess and provides us with a glimpse into an era long past. It reminds us of how even mundane tasks like laundry were once carried out with grace and dedication by hardworking women along these historic canals.
