EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lapp children looking at a globe, 1936" offers a glimpse into the lives of young Sami children in Lapland during the 1930s. The image is part of the renowned book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler and published by Odhams Press Ltd in London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see two Lapp girls and a boy engrossed in their educational exploration. Their traditional costumes, adorned with intricate patterns and headgear, reflect their indigenous heritage. The girls wear caps while the boy dons an elaborate headdress. These garments not only showcase their cultural identity but also add charm to this beautiful composition. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the globe that captures these young minds' attention. With curiosity shining through their eyes, they eagerly point towards different locations on its surface. This scene highlights both their thirst for knowledge and how education transcends geographical boundaries. Through this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when learning was cherished even amidst humble surroundings. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our backgrounds or circumstances, education has always been valued as a pathway to understanding our world better. As we admire this remarkable piece from an unknown creator under Harold Wheeler's guidance, it invites us to appreciate diverse cultures while recognizing the universal desire for knowledge among all children across time and space.
