EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two men from Krupina, Slovakia, 1922" offers a glimpse into the lives of two individuals in early 20th century Slovakia. The artist behind this remarkable illustration is Dr V Sixta, whose attention to detail beautifully captures the essence of these men's traditional costumes. Dressed in their distinctive attire consisting of cloaks, hats, and traditional garments, these men proudly showcase their Slovakian heritage. Their clothing reflects the rich cultural history and traditions that have been passed down through generations. It is evident that every element of their dress holds significance and tells a story. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler yet deeply rooted in tradition. The portrait highlights not only the physical features but also the character and resilience etched on their faces. This print is part of a larger collection called "Peoples of All Nations". Edited by J A Hammerton in 1922 as an educational resource about different cultures within the British Empire up to Dahomey (now Benin), it serves as a valuable historical document for ethnography enthusiasts. Through this powerful image captured by Dr V Sixta nearly a century ago, we are reminded of our shared humanity across borders and time periods. It invites us to appreciate diversity while recognizing our common threads as members of one global community.
