EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by B. Boury, we are transported back to Lagos, Nigeria in the year 1930. The image portrays two young boys who find themselves at the heart of a bustling furniture sale. Despite their tender age, they have taken on significant roles in promoting the event. One boy stands tall and proud as he rings a bell, his youthful face displaying determination and excitement. His purpose is clear - to capture the attention of passersby and draw them towards the sale. Meanwhile, his companion carries a handwritten sign that advertises the furniture extravaganza with simple yet effective words. What strikes us most about this snapshot is not just their involvement but also their appearance. Both boys stand barefooted, dressed in tattered rags that barely cover their small frames. Their impoverished state contrasts starkly against the backdrop of opulent furnishings surrounding them. This photograph serves as a reminder of both resilience and inequality within society during that era. It captures an authentic moment frozen in time when these young boys played an unexpected role amidst commerce and prosperity. Boury's lens has immortalized these two individuals who were once nameless faces lost among countless others struggling for survival during those challenging times in Lagos history. Through this photo print, we are compelled to reflect upon our own privileges while acknowledging those whose stories often go untold or forgotten.
