The Old and the New - Revolutionizing Household Chores
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Old and the New" showcases an advertisement for the Woman's Friend Steam Washer, a groundbreaking invention that transformed the lives of weary women in 1873. The lithograph, created by an anonymous American artist from the 19th century, highlights both the innovative technology and societal implications of this remarkable device. In this image, we witness a stark contrast between traditional handwashing methods and the modern steam-powered washer. A tired woman is depicted laboring over a basin filled with soapy water on one side, while on the other side stands a proud wife effortlessly operating her new steam washer. The slogan boldly proclaims: "Look here, weary woman, there is rest for you! Steam will do your washing!". This advertisement not only promotes convenience but also challenges gender roles prevalent during that era. By showcasing how easily women can accomplish their household chores with this appliance's help, it subtly empowers them to reclaim some leisure time or engage in other pursuits. While reflecting on this historic piece of advertising artistry, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements within our homes. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation as well as highlighting important social changes brought about by such inventions.
