. This print titled "Le repassage" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century France. The image showcases a scene of domesticity, depicting an everyday task that was essential for maintaining clean and presentable clothing in those times - ironing. Set against the backdrop of a cozy fireplace, we see children diligently engaged in this pre-mechanization chore. Boys and girls alike are involved in various stages of the ironing process - folding freshly pressed sheets, hanging clothes on a lower line to dry, and carefully tending to garments with hot irons. The educational aspect is evident as well; these young ones are learning valuable skills at an early age. Their concentration and commitment to their tasks highlight the importance placed on household duties during this era. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overlooked either.

Overall, "Le repassage" transports us back in time, offering us a window into an era where even mundane tasks held great value and were integral parts of daily
