EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1930s in the picturesque Steyr valley of Austria, where a woman and two children are intently focused on the task of creating Jews Harps, a primitive musical instrument. The Jews Harp, also known as a fishbone harp or a friction harp, is an ancient and simple musical instrument that consists of a flexible strip of material, often made from animal intestines or plaited grass, which is held between the teeth and plucked with the fingers. The scene is set against the backdrop of a rustic, rural environment, with the children wearing traditional clothing and the woman dressed in a simple apron. The Jews Harps they are making are laid out on a wooden table, with the raw materials and tools of their craft nearby. The atmosphere is one of quiet concentration and dedication, as they work together to create these unique musical instruments. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of musical craftsmanship in Austria during the 1930s. Jews Harps have been played for centuries, with origins dating back to the Middle Ages, and were traditionally used in folk music and storytelling. In this case, the Jews Harps they are making are destined for export, as they were bought by a firm based in Birmingham, England, for distribution to the Aborigines in Australia. This international trade highlights the global reach of musical traditions and the interconnectedness of different cultures during this period. The Jews Harp remains a fascinating and intriguing musical instrument, with a unique sound and a rich history that continues to captivate musicians and collectors alike. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the traditions and crafts of the past, and the role they play in shaping our cultural heritage.
