Anonyme: doing the laundry, France ca. 1865

Image of Anonyme: doing the laundry, France ca. 1865
Sold out

Six women are doing laundry by a stream. There is also a little pig walking around drinking. It is unusual in early photography history to photograph this kind of hard work. The photo has the spontaneous atmosphere of a reportage. The everyday subject is also rather unusual to capture.

The large albumen print has small traces of use and cut corners. The primitive atmosphere of the print is beautiful.

ca. 25,5 x 19 cm
