EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1910s, an elderly Montenegrin gypsy couple, deeply connected and weathered by time, are seen riding their trusty donkey steeds through the picturesque town of Cetinje. The husband, with a furrowed brow and wise, weathered face, clings tightly to the reins, guiding the animals with the experience of a lifetime. His wife, equally aged but with a gentle, serene expression, sits behind him, cradling their worldly possessions in a large woven basket. The couple's attire reflects their gypsy heritage, with the husband wearing a traditional felt hat and long, flowing coat, while his wife dons a colorful, embroidered dress and shawl. The donkeys, their backs laden with bags, cases, and packs, carry the weight of their owners' belongings and the memories of their past. Cetinje, the old royal capital of Montenegro, serves as the backdrop to this scene, its historic buildings and cobblestone streets adding to the sense of timelessness. The couple's journey, likely one of many they have taken throughout their lives, continues as they make their way through the town, their donkeys steadfastly carrying them forward. This photograph captures a moment in time, a glimpse into the lives of these elderly Montenegrin gypsies and the simple, yet profound, connection they share with their animals and their possessions. It is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and the enduring bond between people and their belongings as they navigate the twists and turns of life's journey.
