EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a moment in time from the 1930s in the Philippines, showing a young Moro boy smoking a cigarette. The image is both fascinating and troubling, as it depicts a child of about six years old engaging in an adult behavior that is now widely recognized as harmful to health.
The boy's expression is one of curiosity and perhaps defiance, his small hand holding the cigarette with confidence. It is clear that he has been bribed by the gift of an empty film carton to pose for the cameraman, highlighting the power dynamics at play in this situation.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex history of tobacco use and exploitation around the world, particularly among marginalized communities. It also raises questions about how children have been targeted by industries selling harmful substances like cigarettes.
Despite its unsettling subject matter, this image offers valuable insights into social norms and practices from a bygone era. It prompts viewers to reflect on how attitudes towards smoking have evolved over time and underscores the importance of protecting vulnerable populations from dangerous influences.
