PILGRIMS - WASHING DAY
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in American history, depicting the first washing day of the pilgrims on Monday, 23rd November 1620 at Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This wood engraving from the 19th century offers a glimpse into the daily life and domestic chores of these early settlers. In this scene, we see men and women diligently working together on the beach. The men carry buckets filled with water while the women gather around washbins to clean their clothes. It is a testament to their resilience and determination as they establish their settlement amidst challenging circumstances. The image showcases not only physical labor but also highlights gender roles during that time period. While both men and women are engaged in this communal task, it is evident that laundry duties were primarily assigned to women – an insight into the division of labor within puritan society. This print serves as a reminder of our nation's humble beginnings and pays tribute to those who paved the way for future generations. It symbolizes perseverance, hard work, and unity – values deeply ingrained in American culture. As we reflect upon this historical event captured by The Granger Collection's wood engraving, let us appreciate how far we have come since those early days of settlement. May it inspire us to cherish our freedom and continue building upon the foundations laid by these brave pilgrims centuries ago.
