EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of domesticity and duty, as a woman diligently performs housework in her home. The image is taken from "Duties towards oneself: the body. Order and Disorder," a moral and civic instruction book intended for students of primary schools and lycees in 1919. In this scene, the woman embodies the concept of taking care of oneself physically, maintaining order within one's own body and surroundings. Her focused expression and posture reflect a sense of responsibility towards her own well-being. The engraving by G. Dascher beautifully illustrates the importance of self-care and discipline, as advocated by authors A. Miglet and H. Bernat in their work on teaching morals to young learners. As we gaze upon this timeless depiction of everyday life, we are reminded of the enduring value of personal hygiene, cleanliness, and organization in fostering a healthy mind-body connection. Through this historical artwork, we are invited to reflect on our own duties towards ourselves - how we can strive for balance, harmony, and self-respect through simple acts of care and maintenance.
