Ironer, 1822
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that offers a glimpse into the domestic life of an Indian man in the early 19th century. The image showcases a male figure diligently using an iron filled with hot charcoal to press clothes on a wooden table. This household appliance, although rudimentary by today's standards, was an essential tool for maintaining crisp and wrinkle-free garments. The setting exudes simplicity and authenticity, with traditional Indian furniture and decor creating an immersive atmosphere. The use of charcoal as fuel adds to the rustic charm of this scene, highlighting the resourcefulness of individuals during that era. This print not only captures the physical act of ironing but also symbolizes hard work and dedication. It serves as a reminder of how mundane tasks like laundry were once labor-intensive endeavors requiring skill and patience. As we observe this anonymous individual engrossed in his chore, we are transported back in time to witness a slice of everyday life in Hindoostan (India). Through this lithograph from 1822 preserved by Oxford Science Archive, we gain insight into historical practices while appreciating the ingenuity behind simple yet effective tools used for domestic purposes. Anon's creation immortalizes this unassuming moment forever etched onto paper—a testament to human resilience and adaptability throughout history.
