EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in the tumultuous Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939, specifically in the Basque Country. The image shows a military mass of gudaris, or Basque soldiers, gathered together in prayer amidst the chaos and destruction of war. The vertical composition of the photograph emphasizes the unity and strength of these men as they come together to seek solace and guidance through their faith. The stark contrast between black and white highlights the gravity of the situation they find themselves in, with sunlight casting shadows on their faces as they bow their heads in prayer. These soldiers represent not only a fighting force but also a community bound by shared beliefs and values. Their Catholic faith serves as a source of comfort and resilience during this turbulent time in history. The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, offering a glimpse into the social fabric of Basque society during one of its most challenging moments. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave servicemen who fought for their beliefs and way of life amidst great adversity. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history that continues to resonate with us today.
