Title: "Workers on the Suburb" - A Captivating Sketch from the Early 20th Century Depicting Working Women in a Suburban Setting (circa 1901) This evocative sketch, titled "Workers on the Suburb," is a captivating glimpse into the daily lives of working women during the early 20th century. Created by renowned Swiss artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen around 1901, this charming caricature portrays a pair of women in conversation as they stroll down a tree-lined suburban street. The women, dressed in practical attire, exude a sense of determination and camaraderie as they navigate the cobblestone path. The background of the sketch is filled with intriguing figures, each engaged in their own activities. A man can be seen in the distance, pushing a pram, while another man sits on a bench, deep in thought. A young girl plays with a hoop and stick, and a dog trots alongside her. The diverse cast of characters adds depth and vitality to the scene, highlighting the bustling energy of suburban life. The intricate details of the sketch, from the textured fabric of the women's clothing to the delicate leaves of the trees, showcase Steinlen's exceptional artistic talent. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of everyday life and the role of working women in shaping the fabric of society. This sketch is part of the "March of the Women" collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in exploring the rich history of art and culture. This image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is a fascinating addition to any collection of early 20th-century art or social history.
