EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Blanchisseuse; Washerwoman; Wascherin" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when craftsmanship and hard work were highly valued. The engraving, created by an unknown European School artist, showcases the daily life of a washerwoman in stunning detail. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the renowned book "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" by Armand Le Brun et al. Published around 1873 by Furne Jouvet, this illustrated dictionary aimed to provide readers with knowledge of common words in French, English, and German. In this particular scene captured by the engraver's skillful hand, we see the washerwoman diligently at work. Her hands are immersed in soapy water as she scrubs away at garments hanging from a line above her head. She represents not only her own craft but also embodies the spirit of hardworking craftsmen during that era. The print transports us to a time when manual labor was essential for everyday living. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our history and appreciating those who came before us. This piece serves as both an educational tool and a visual reminder of how far we have come since then. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork for all to admire and learn from.
