EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Milan, Italy during the 1920s or 1930s. The image captures a slice of everyday life along the Naviglio Grande, one of Milan's historic canals. A group of washerwomen are seen diligently scrubbing clothes by the water's edge, their hands immersed in soapy suds as they work tirelessly under the warm Italian sun. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and hard work as these women come together to tackle their shared task. Their presence adds vibrancy to an otherwise tranquil canal setting, with laundry hanging on lines nearby and boats gently gliding through the water. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported to a different era - a time when hand-washing clothes was still commonplace and communities relied on each other for support. It serves as a reminder of simpler times and offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of working-class women in Lombardia. Preserved by Touring Club Italiano/Marka/UIG from Universal Images Group (UIG), this remarkable piece is not just an archival treasure but also an ode to human resilience and unity amidst mundane tasks.
