EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Washerwomen, Cries of London" is a remarkable piece of art created by the talented artist John Thomas Smith in the early 19th century. The image captures a rear view of three women, one of whom carries a small child on her back. The scene depicted in this etching takes us back to the bustling streets of London during that era. These hardworking washerwomen were an integral part of street life, earning their livelihood through their profession. Dressed in traditional attire, they carry heavy loads while navigating through the busy cityscape. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this snapshot from history. It allows us to focus on the details - from the determination etched on each woman's face to the delicate features of the child clinging onto his mother. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork offers a glimpse into everyday life in 19th-century England. It serves as a reminder of how occupations like these shaped society at that time and highlights the strength and resilience displayed by women who worked tirelessly to support themselves and their families. As we admire this powerful image captured by John Thomas Smith, we are transported back in time to witness these washerwomen going about their daily tasks with grace and perseverance amidst the vibrant streets of London.
