EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the innocence and imagination of childhood during a time of great turmoil and uncertainty. Circa 1940, in the midst of World War Two, three boys intently focus on their game of soldier marionnettes, oblivious to the world around them. The soldiers and sailors, made of wood and controlled by strings, come to life in their hands, as they reenact battles and scenarios from the front. The boys, dressed in simple clothing, sit on the floor of a cozy home, surrounded by the warmth and comfort of familiar surroundings. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of children, even during the most challenging of times. The soldiers and sailor marionnettes, with their stern expressions and meticulously crafted uniforms, add an air of authenticity to the game, reflecting the reality of the war that was playing out on the world stage. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time, where the joys of childhood and the complexities of war could coexist, if only in the realm of imagination.
