EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Finnish history, showcasing the national game of Kykka being played by enthusiastic Finns in 1936. The artist, ENA, skillfully portrays the essence of this traditional pastime through his lens. The image showcases a group of indigenous men dressed in their vibrant national costumes, immersing themselves in the spirit of the game. With piggyback rides and intense concentration on their faces, they engage wholeheartedly in this beloved sport that has been passed down through generations. The scene is set against a backdrop that exudes authenticity and cultural richness. Every detail - from the carefully crafted traditional dress to the location itself - speaks volumes about Finland's deep-rooted traditions and pride. As we delve into this snapshot from Harold Wheeler's renowned book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this timeless piece. ENA's artistry shines through as he perfectly captures not only a game but also a glimpse into Finnish culture at its core. This photograph serves as a testament to how sports can unite people across time and space while celebrating their heritage. In summary, this print immortalizes Finns playing Kykka with passion and camaraderie during 1936. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece by ENA and a valuable historical document within Harold Wheeler's collection.
