Okay, these days it can be just doggone annoying to have to get up off the couch to get new batteries for the remote. Think of how long it took to go from what you see in these photos to couch potato. Centuries and centuries required real labor to just get through the day. Virtually no one but the elite were immune to physical labor of some sort. Not so much today.
These photos were bought last year at an estate sale. No information available about the identities of the women. I can only surmise they were from Nebraska since other vintage images were from Nebraska.
I don't know why, but I'm convinced the second one is Cinderella.

LOL. And Cinderfella is out plowin' the potato patch!
ReplyDeleteFantastic images. Not the sort of existence I would care for!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the "dust caps"? I can remember my grandmother wearing one when she was doing housework. Guess the caps kept their hair clean. I remember my grandmother sitting on the upstairs windowsill washing the window on the outside. Great pictures. Carol
ReplyDeleteI'd never seen a cap like the first woman is wearing. It looks so much like an old vinyl swim cap.
ReplyDeleteThe first lady looks mean..she is about to bonk that cow on the head. The second ..most certainly Cinderella:)
ReplyDeleteYes! I've always thought this big slurpy cow tongue was always first in line, thus the reason she wore a vinyl swimming cap. I know, it's not a swimming cap, but it's just so doggone strange.
