EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tibetan Priests, 1936" takes us back to a time when the world was still largely unexplored. The image, captured by artist Ewing Galloway and featured in the book "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler, offers a glimpse into the mystical world of Tibetan Buddhism. In this mesmerizing scene, we see a group of Tibetan priests adorned in their traditional attire. Their long beards and distinctive hats add an air of wisdom and spirituality to their presence. One can't help but be drawn to their intense focus as they engage in prayerful activities. The photograph also showcases elements that are integral to Tibetan culture and religion. A woman dressed in traditional clothing stands alongside her male counterparts, highlighting gender inclusivity within this spiritual practice. A prayer wheel is prominently displayed, symbolizing devotion and enlightenment through its rhythmic rotation. The composition further captures the essence of shamanism with a musical instrument - perhaps a drum - held by one of the priests. This suggests that music played an important role in religious ceremonies during that era. Ewing Galloway's masterful use of monochrome adds depth and texture to this snapshot frozen in time. Through his lens, he invites us into a realm where ancient traditions thrive amidst breathtaking landscapes. This print serves as both an artistic tribute to Tibetan culture and an invaluable historical document for those seeking insight into early 20th-century Tibet. It reminds
