EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in French Indochina, showcasing the peaceful coexistence of religion and youth. In this image, a young Buddhist novice monk stands serenely beside a majestic statue of the Buddha. The contrast between his small stature and the towering presence of the statue emphasizes both his innocence and reverence for his faith. The photo, taken by Ewing Galloway in the late 1930s, exudes an air of tranquility as it transports us to a time when French Indochina was still under colonial rule. The young boy's traditional Vietnamese robes add authenticity to this ethnographic snapshot, providing insight into the rich cultural heritage that permeated every aspect of life in this region. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the historical significance but also of the universal themes it represents: childhood innocence, spirituality, and devotion. It serves as a testament to how religion can shape one's identity from an early age. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection with great care. Through their dedication to preserving historical artifacts like these photographs, they allow us to glimpse into different eras and cultures while celebrating our shared humanity.
