EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the Gutach region of South West Germany around the 1910s, showcases two sisters and their strikingly similar offspring donning traditional Gutacher costumes. The Gutach region, located near the border with France, is renowned for its unique and intriguing cultural traditions, including this distinctive attire. The sisters' outfits consist of long, pleated skirts, high-waisted bodices, and ornate headwear. Their hats, adorned with ribbons, flowers, and intricate designs, sit atop their heads at precarious angles, adding to the bizarre and odd appearance of the image. The sisters' expressions, while not revealing any clear emotions, add to the strange and disturbing atmosphere of the photograph. The background of the image reveals a quaint, old-fashioned house with intricate woodwork and a gabled roof, further emphasizing the historical significance of the scene. The mirror reflection in the window adds a surreal element to the photograph, creating a sense of depth and intrigue. The similarities between the sisters and their children are uncanny, leaving one to wonder if there is a genetic or environmental explanation for their shared features. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and unique traditions of the Gutach region, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
