This black-and-white photo shows three boys sitting on wide stone steps, looking bored or lost in thought. Behind them, a tall statue of a woman holds a torch, and smaller statues line the base of a pedestal. The sky is dramatic, with thick, dark clouds and a puff of smoke rising near the top right. The boys’ casual clothes contrast with the stiff, formal statues behind them. The title *The Younger Generation* hints at a quiet comment on how kids and old traditions might not mix. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
