I like the emphasis that this version placed on the woman at her task and her apparent plight. But I also like the newer version you've posted that gives a wider view of her surroundings, the window light, etc. Both work on me in a different manner.

And it's only sixty years ago…
Excellent shot and presentation, Neil!

people really used to do things by hand. Now, just have a machine do it.

Things have changed since then, but it is easy to see you had a good eye even then! Great story telling shot! V

Superb historical picture.When I was young my mom washed my brothers and me in a vessel so;....I liked that.:o).
We got a rolls machine to wring the washing
very well captured Neil.
