EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les blanchisseuses au Chorillo, Panama" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The engraving, based on a drawing by E. Bayard, beautifully captures the daily lives of women working as laundry workers in Chorillo, Panama. The image is part of a collection that illustrates the story of exploration at the isthmus of Panama and Darien by A. Reclus, a lieutenant of ship from 1876 to 1878. Published in Paris in 1880 as part of "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton, this engraving provides a glimpse into an era when Central America was still relatively unexplored. In this scene, we see two women diligently engaged in their work. Their faces show determination and focus as they go about their laborious task of washing linen. The details captured by Emile Antoine Bayard's drawing highlight not only the physicality involved but also convey a sense of pride and resilience. The setting itself adds another layer to our understanding; Chorillo was known for its bustling port activity during this period. These hardworking women were likely supporting themselves or their families through their trade amidst an ever-changing landscape shaped by international commerce. As we admire this historical piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it serves as a reminder that behind every great exploration lies countless individuals whose stories deserve recognition and appreciation.
