French Women Washing Clothes River Town Laundresses Washhouse Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a group of women, known as laundresses or "laveuses," wash clothes in a floating washhouse, or "bateau-lavoir," on a river in a French town. These floating washhouses were common communal laundry facilities in French cities and towns from the 19th to the early 20th century, providing a central place for women to do their washing before homes had running water.
