EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David Smithson, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Hondarabia in the Basque Country, Spain. The image showcases a powerful juxtaposition between law and order, politics, and the innocence of children during a significant event - the Alarde. Amidst a sea of people marching for suffrage rights, we see a group of Basque riot policemen standing tall and vigilant. Their presence symbolizes both protection and control as they guard the peaceful Basque suffragette marchers. It is an embodiment of how societal progress often intertwines with maintaining lawfulness. However, amidst this charged atmosphere, our attention is drawn to a child sitting comfortably in their pushchair. Clutching onto a rabbit-shaped balloon with wide-eyed wonderment on their face, they seem blissfully unaware of the political significance surrounding them. This innocent moment serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and tension, life continues to thrive. Smithson's photograph beautifully captures not only the diverse emotions present but also highlights Europe's rich cultural festivals where people unite for common causes. Through his lens, he skillfully encapsulates both individual stories within broader social narratives. This thought-provoking print invites us to reflect upon society's complexities while appreciating moments of joy that exist alongside it – reminding us that even in times of change or unrest; there is always room for hope and celebration.
