Snapshot of time with little of the era
What I love about this picture is that, except for the styles, these could be men 500 years ago. I don't see anything technological that was particularly different than what their long-time ancestors used. The fabrics might be machine made, but everything else looks pretty hand-made traditional. Very little gives away the hurricane of changes about to unfold.
