First edition, very rare, of this publication advertising the use of a steambased washing machine. Presented in the form of a dialogue between the padrona, the lady of the house, and her two washerwomen, the beneWts of this revolutionary new washing technique are expounded. The arguments used by the padrona could easily come out of a modern advertising jingle – whiter than white, with no hint of laundry bluing. In four dialogues the washerwomen are Wrst persuaded to try out this new washing technique, which is then explained in great detail. In the course of the discussion various traditional methods of washing are explained, such as bleaching in the sun, using special soaps, ash or even soda. The garments are Wrst soaked in baths of sulphoric acid diluted in water, and in caustic potash, then rinsed, and Wnally put into the ‘washing machine’. The composition of this machine and its construction is explained in great detail and illustrated on the large folding plate. In his preface the anonymous author writes that his invention is based on an idea of the French scientist Cadet de Vaux (1743–1828). To increase its circulation and readership the author decided to present the ideas in the form of a dialogue, and to give further technical details which had not been included by Cadet de Vaux. OCLC lists one copy at Princeton, also recorded in the Bibliothèque Nationale. susanne schulz-falster rare books
