EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Children of the Empire, a Russian Religious Sect settled in Canada" offers a glimpse into a unique cultural community that found its home in North America. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the leaders, women, and children of this Russian religious sect. In this powerful snapshot, we witness a Sunday service taking place within their settlement. The men exude strength and determination as they embody manhood within their traditional dress. Meanwhile, little girls and boys represent innocence and childlike wonder amidst the backdrop of their humble house. The New Children of the Empire are known as Spirit Wrestlers or Doukhobertsi - adherents to a distinct religion that emphasizes peace and spirituality. Their presence in Canada speaks to the diverse tapestry of cultures that have shaped this nation over time. Through photography's lens, we are transported back to 1902 when this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. This evocative image captures not only moments frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how different belief systems can coexist harmoniously within one society. As we gaze upon these faces from another era, it is impossible not to be intrigued by their story - one that intertwines faith with migration across continents. This photograph stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an extraordinary chapter in Canadian history.
