EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for a group of Estonian peasant workers during the early 1920s. The scene is set in the Republic of Estonia, a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe that gained its independence from Russia in 1918. The workers, dressed in traditional costumes, sit around a simple table, taking a break from their manual labor to enjoy an afternoon tea. The men, wearing caps and aprons, appear to be in deep conversation, while others seem content to simply rest and take in the moment. In the foreground, a man pours weak tea from a samovar into a series of small cups. A loaf of black bread sits on the table, ready to be shared among the group. The image transports us back to a time when the world was in the midst of significant change. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, were marked by cultural and social upheaval, as well as economic prosperity in many parts of the world. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary people, whose experiences were often far removed from the glamour and excitement of the era. The workers in this photograph are a reminder of the racial and ethnic diversity that existed in Europe during this period, as well as the common experiences and shared traditions that brought people together. Today, this image serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the lives of those who lived through a pivotal moment in history.
