EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Underwood & Underwood in the 1900s, transports us to the banks of the Goomti River near Lucknow, India. The scene depicts a group of Dbobies diligently washing clothes in the flowing waters against the backdrop of a majestic bridge. The image showcases not only the daily chore of laundry but also provides a glimpse into life in early 20th century India. The washermen can be seen meticulously scrubbing garments along the riverbank, creating an intriguing contrast between their traditional attire and modern infrastructure. The stereoscopic slide adds depth and dimension to this snapshot from history, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this moment frozen in time. As we observe these individuals going about their tasks with utmost focus and dedication, we are reminded of the importance placed on cleanliness and hygiene even back then. This photograph serves as a testament to both cultural practices and geographical features that define Hindoostan (India). It is through such visual records that we gain insight into different eras and regions across our vast continent of Asia. As admirers of artistry and historical preservation, let us appreciate this stunning monochrome print for its ability to transport us back over a century ago – reminding us how much has changed while simultaneously celebrating our shared human experiences.
