EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print titled "STEAM WASHER, 1872" takes us back in time to the late 19th century American kitchen. The image showcases an advertisement for a revolutionary steam washer, beautifully captured through a wood engraving technique in 1872. In this nostalgic scene, we see a young girl, presumably the daughter of the household, assisting her mother with domestic chores. The hardworking woman is depicted as a laundress, diligently operating the steam washer to tackle the daily load of laundry. This powerful depiction highlights not only the importance of women's work but also their role as multitasking homemakers. The intricate details within this artwork transport us into an era where washing machines were still relatively new and considered cutting-edge technology. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of modern conveniences that simplify our daily lives. This piece from The Granger Collection captures more than just an advertisement; it encapsulates a snapshot of everyday life during that period in America. It reminds us to appreciate the progress made over generations while acknowledging and honoring those who paved the way for our current comforts.
