EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rare and poignant sight of triplets, born around 1914 during the tumultuous era of World War One. The image, titled 'Triplets / French Leave,' offers a brief yet intriguing glimpse into the historical context of the time. During the early 20th century, the term 'French Leave' was used to describe a sudden and secret departure, often with the implication of leaving debts unpaid or obligations unfulfilled. However, in this context, the title seems to be a playful reference to the triplets' unexpected arrival, a surprise that left their community in a state of delight and wonder. The photograph reveals three tiny infants swaddled in soft blankets, lying on a bed or table, their curious gazes fixed on the camera lens. Their mother, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, tenderly cradles the middle triplet, while her sister stands protectively by her side, her hand gently touching the baby's head. The third sister, perhaps the eldest, looks on from a distance, her expression a mixture of awe and concern. The backdrop of World War One adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. The war, which began in 1914, brought about immense hardships and challenges for families across Europe. The birth of triplets, a rare occurrence under normal circumstances, would have been an even more extraordinary event during this time of upheaval and uncertainty. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. It also highlights the universal bond between siblings and the unbreakable connection between a mother and her children. A truly captivating and thought-provoking image, 'Triplets / French Leave' is a precious piece of historical documentation that continues to resonate with viewers today.
