Vintage Illustration of Early 20th-Century Household Ironing Scene #147249 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white illustration shows a woman in period attire-dark blouse, white collared shirt, and a dotted apron-bending over a narrow wooden ironing board balanced across a Windsor-style chair. She uses a heavy, solid-metal sad iron, while a metal washtub filled with damp garments rests on the chair seat. Her focused expression and neatly styled hair reflect the meticulous nature of early household chores before electric appliances.
