EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Couple in traditional dress, Alsace-Lorraine, Rhine, 1936" captures the essence of cultural heritage and historical significance. Taken by renowned artist Donald McLeish during the 1930s, this image showcases a couple dressed in their traditional attire from the region of Alsace-Lorraine. Alsace-Lorraine has a complex history as it has been part of both Germany and France throughout various periods. This photograph beautifully reflects the fusion of these two cultures through its depiction of local costumes and customs. The woman is adorned in an exquisite dress with intricate patterns while wearing a headdress that adds elegance to her appearance. Her footwear consists of sturdy boots suitable for village life along the Rhine River. The man complements her attire with his own traditional costume featuring an apron-like garment over his trousers. The couple's clothing represents not only their national identity but also serves as a testament to their connection to their indigenous roots. Their proud expressions convey a sense of belonging and pride in preserving their cultural heritage. Through this powerful image captured by Donald McLeish and published in Harold Wheeler's book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" we are transported back to 1936, witnessing firsthand the beauty and diversity found within different regions across Europe. It serves as a reminder that traditions are passed down through generations, keeping alive our rich history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
