EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases a group of people deeply engrossed in the age-old tradition of making wooden shoes, or sabots, in the picturesque countryside of Brittany, Northern France. The scene transports us back in time to the 1920s, a decade marked by cultural richness and rural simplicity. The men and women, dressed in traditional Breton attire, are seated and standing around an open-air workspace. Each person is focused on their individual sabot, meticulously carving it from a single piece of wood. The intricate process required great skill and patience, reflecting the deep connection between the people and their land. The wooden shoes, an essential part of Breton folklore, were a practical solution for the rural population. They were worn in the fields to protect their feet from the harsh elements and the thorns that littered the ground. The sabots were also a symbol of the region's unique identity, adding to the rich tapestry of Brittany's cultural heritage. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and craftsmanship of the people who kept this tradition alive. The scene is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving the stories and customs that define our shared human experience.
