EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Albania in 1922, offering a glimpse into the lives of Romany women. The image, captured by Underwood & Underwood, is part of the renowned collection "Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past". These Romany women exude strength and resilience as they sit for their portrait. Dressed in traditional costumes that reflect their cultural heritage, these Albanian gypsies command attention with their direct gaze. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the enduring spirit of these remarkable women. The print invites us to contemplate not only the individual stories behind each face but also the collective history and struggles faced by this marginalized community. It serves as a reminder that diversity enriches our world and should be celebrated rather than shunned. Underwood & Underwood's skillful composition captures both the beauty and complexity of these Romany women's lives. Through this image, we are transported to a different era while recognizing that their experiences continue to shape our present-day understanding. As we admire this powerful portrait from nearly a century ago, let us reflect on how far society has come in embracing diversity while acknowledging there is still work to be done in ensuring equality for all cultures and communities.
