This is the cover photo for Joseph, the first of what is to be a three part saga of Joseph Dular, a Slovenian boy who leaves his homeland in search of a more promising future than what lay before him. Born in 1869, Joseph's life is that of a farmer. Not a bad life, but that of an honest working man in Eastern Europe. As he reaches his early teens, he also learns the skills of a carpenter while assisting in his father's part-time woodworking shop in the small community of Vasta Vas.
Although not unheard of in that time, leaving home when still in your early teens was not a usual occurrence. However, Joseph felt he was "man enough" to handle any trials he would face in the outside world. So at 13 he begins his travels.
