"The Laundry Maid; And Lady's Maid Soaping Linnen" is an 18th-century print by the English artist Philip Dawe. The work is a satirical engraving that depicts a scene of domestic labor, focusing on two maids engaged in the task of washing linen. The print is part of a larger body of work by Dawe that often commented on social norms and the class structure of his time through the medium of satirical prints.

Philip Dawe (circa 1745 – 1832) was an artist and engraver known for his social and political satire, who worked extensively with the famous caricaturist William Hogarth. Dawe's works often featured everyday scenes infused with a sense of humor and a critical eye on the society of his era. "The Laundry Maid; And Lady's Maid Soaping Linnen" is an example of his keen observation of the working conditions and the lives of domestic workers, a subject that was rarely glorified in the art of the period.

The print is characterized by its detailed depiction of the maids' expressions and the physicality of their work, as well as the use of light and shadow to highlight the textures of the fabrics and the water. It serves as a valuable historical document that provides insight into the domestic practices and social hierarchies of the 18th century. The artwork also contributes to the understanding of the role of women in the labor force during this time, as it portrays female servants in their working environment.

As with many of Dawe's prints, "The Laundry Maid; And Lady's Maid Soaping Linnen" would have been accessible to a broad audience, reflecting the popularity of satirical prints as a form of entertainment and social commentary. The work remains an important piece within the genre of British satirical art and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
