EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a row of girls from the West African country of Togo, arranged in order from left to right according to their age and height. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of young girls in this region during that era. The girls, all dressed in traditional African attire, exhibit the unique beauty and diversity of the Togolese people. The eldest girl in the front row, with her serious expression and mature features, appears to be on the cusp of womanhood. The girls behind her grow younger and smaller as the row progresses, with the youngest, a toddler, playfully peeking out from behind the others. Their clothing, made of brightly colored fabrics and adorned with intricate patterns, reflects the rich cultural heritage of Togo. Despite the passage of time, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the universal experiences of childhood and the way in which age and size can be used to distinguish the different stages of growth. The girls' shared connection, their unbroken line, underscores the sense of community and unity that exists among them. This image offers a valuable historical record of a time and place that is often overlooked in the annals of history, and invites us to reflect on the lives and stories of these young girls and the communities they come from.
