EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to Naples around the year 1900. The image depicts a carter on a cart, skillfully maneuvering through the bustling streets of the city. The cart is heavily loaded with sacks of wheat, symbolizing the importance of agriculture and trade during that era. The central focus of the photograph is undoubtedly the carter himself. Dressed in popular fashion attire of his time, he stands tall and proud atop his horse-drawn cart. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication as he navigates through an arduous journey. The presence of horses adds an element of nostalgia to this scene; they were once indispensable companions for transportation before automobiles took over our roads. These magnificent terrestrial mammals play a crucial role in pulling heavy loads across vast distances. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that every aspect has been carefully composed by Brogi's lens. From the intricate details on each sack to the sturdy wheels supporting them, every object within this frame contributes to its overall narrative. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how transportation methods have evolved throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon our own progress while appreciating those who paved the way for modern advancements. Brogi's artistry shines through as he immortalizes this carter's daily routine - an ordinary yet essential occupation that kept societies running smoothly at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back in time and evoke emotions tied closely with human perseverance and resilience.
