EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Russian travellers on foot in the 19th century" takes us back to a time of great hardship and resilience. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of a group of Russian travellers embarking on a long and arduous journey. In this poignant image, we see a young girl amidst the weary faces of men and women, symbolizing both innocence and despair. Their worn-out clothes reflect their impoverished state as they traverse vast landscapes in search of hope and survival. This chromolithography chromo evokes empathy for these nomadic souls who were part of an exodus driven by poverty and desperation. The composition highlights the strength within this population as they undertake their pelerinage or pilgrimage, seeking solace or perhaps even better opportunities elsewhere. Leonard de Selva's expert photography preserves this historical moment with remarkable clarity, allowing us to witness the struggles faced by ordinary people during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, it serves as a reminder not only of human suffering but also of our capacity for endurance. It prompts reflection on how far society has come since then while urging us to remain vigilant against poverty's persistent grip on certain communities worldwide. This powerful image encapsulates the spirit of those Russian peasants who braved unimaginable challenges in pursuit of a brighter future—a testament to humanity's indomitable will even in times marked by misery.
