EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in Portugal in 1973, we are transported back to a simpler time when daily chores were done by hand. The image showcases a woman diligently washing clothes in a picturesque river setting. With the flowing water as her backdrop, she kneels gracefully on the riverbank, fully immersed in her task. The woman's attire reflects the traditional dress of rural Portugal during that era. Her focused expression reveals the pride she takes in ensuring cleanliness for her family. This domestic chore highlights not only her dedication but also serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women throughout history. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and texture to this portrait captured by Tony Boxall. It allows us to appreciate the timeless beauty of this scene while emphasizing the simplicity of life at that time. This photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it offers us a glimpse into Portuguese culture and geography from decades ago. It reminds us of our connection with nature and how people relied on natural resources like rivers for their everyday needs. As we admire this striking image, let it serve as a reminder of the strength, grace, and hard work exhibited by women across generations who have played an integral role in shaping societies worldwide through their unwavering commitment to their families and communities
