EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Nun making lace, Bruges, Belgium, 1936" captures a moment frozen in time. The artist behind this masterpiece is Donald McLeish, who beautifully portrays the artistry of a Belgian nun engaged in her craft. The photograph is part of the book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler and published by Odhams Press Ltd in London during 1936. It offers an intimate glimpse into the world of Christianity and tradition through its depiction of a nun diligently creating lace. Intricately dressed in her habit, this female craftswoman exemplifies dedication to her occupation within the peaceful confines of a convent. Her profile showcases both concentration and tranquility as she delicately weaves intricate patterns with skillful hands. Belgium's rich history as a hub for lace-making comes alive through this image. The photograph not only highlights the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into religious life during that era. It serves as a reminder of how traditions are passed down from generation to generation. Donald McLeish's lens captures more than just an occupation; it encapsulates an entire way of life—a testament to faith, devotion, and artistic expression. This monochrome print transports us back to Bruges in the 1930s when such scenes were typical yet extraordinary at once. Through literature like "Peoples of the World in Pictures" we can appreciate these glimpses into different cultures while honoring their heritage and contributions
