EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late 19th century photograph captures the scene of a contented family moment during a busy washday. Mrs. Tommy Atkins, the soldier's wife, is seen seated in a tub filled with steaming hot water, washing clothes with a determined expression on her face. Her young daughter, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, helps her mother by passing her the freshly rinsed garments. The soldier, in full uniform, stands nearby, offering his support and affection as he gazes lovingly at his wife. The domestic scene is a common one during this era, where women, particularly those from working-class families, were responsible for the majority of household chores. Washday was a labor-intensive process that involved boiling water in large pots over an open fire, washing the clothes by hand, and then hanging them out to dry. Despite the hard work, the family appears to be enjoying each other's company and making the most of their time together. The photograph, titled "Mrs. Tommy Atkins, Soldier's Wife," is a poignant reminder of the important role women played in maintaining the homefront during this period. Their strength, resilience, and ability to multitask in the face of adversity continue to inspire us today. This image, taken by an unknown photographer and preserved by Terry Parker and Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a valuable insight into the daily lives of Victorian families.
