EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a peasant woman from northern Portugal in 1936. The artist, O Bobone, skillfully portrays the traditional dress and customs of this region through his lens. Dressed in a beautifully woven shawl and adorned with a basket on her arm, the woman exudes an air of simplicity and grace. Her weathered hands hold a book, symbolizing her connection to literature and knowledge despite her rural surroundings. This juxtaposition between tradition and education adds depth to the image, highlighting the resilience and intelligence of women in this community. The photo also hints at the passage of time as it was featured in "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler. Published by Odhams Press Ltd in London during 1936, this collection aimed to showcase diverse cultures from around the world. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into Portuguese country life during the thirties. It is evident that national costume played an important role for these women as they proudly embraced their cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry by O Bobone, we are reminded that beauty can be found even amidst humble circumstances. This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic talent and human resilience – capturing not just an individual but also preserving history for generations to come.
