EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Customary Greeting in Roumania, 1907" transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the traditional customs and manners of early 20th century Romania. The image showcases two Romanian men dressed in exquisite traditional costumes engaging in a polite greeting. With their hats tipped respectfully and hands extended for a handshake, they embody the essence of courtesy and respect. The phrase "Ce Mai Faci or Cum Stai" meaning "How Are You?" is exchanged between them as part of this customary salutation. This photograph was originally featured as No. 6 in the renowned series called "Greetings of the World" produced by Hignett Bros. , Imperial Tobacco Company. Every detail within this vintage card speaks volumes about Romanian culture and etiquette at that time. From the carefully chosen attire to the dignified bowing gestures, it exemplifies the importance placed on maintaining tradition and showing proper respect towards one another. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how different societies have unique ways of expressing greetings and observing social norms. It serves as an intriguing reminder that even simple acts like greeting someone can hold deep cultural significance. This stunning lithograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our own customs while appreciating those from distant lands.
