Washing Clothes. Texas. Circa 1910

Man washing clothes, Texas, circa 1910

In an earlier post, I shared a picture of two hard working ladies washing clothes (Water, Water: wooden water tank.) In this picture we can see that clothes washing was not just women’s work.  If you look closely, you will see that this picture shows the same place, and possibly the same day as the one in the earlier post. There is some change in the placement of the porch stool, the buckets and wash tubs: but look -  the same rag hanging on the same line on the porch is still blowing slightly in the breeze.

Place: Olivia Colony (Calhoun County) Texas
Date:  Circa 1910
