EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, capturing a group of men at the Cave of the Jew on the promontory of Calamita, Mines of Capoliveri, Island of Elba. The photographer, Giorgio Roster, skillfully captures both the natural beauty of this island landscape and the raw industrial scene unfolding before our eyes. The image showcases a quarry where these hardworking men are engaged in extracting valuable raw materials from deep within the earth. Their presence adds a human element to an otherwise rugged and untouched environment. Dressed in their work attire, we can observe hints of fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that era. The Island of Elba itself provides a stunning backdrop for this composition. Its picturesque seascape stretches out into the distance, blending harmoniously with rocky cliffs and lush vegetation. The juxtaposition between nature's tranquility and man's industriousness is strikingly evident here. Giorgio Roster's photographic expertise shines through as he masterfully captures not only a group portrait but also conveys a sense of purposeful industry within this historical context. This print serves as an invaluable window into an era long gone by – one that witnessed significant advancements in mining technology while preserving its connection to nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by Roster's lens, we cannot help but be transported back in time; imagining ourselves amidst those determined men working tirelessly inside that cave on Elba's promontory - forever frozen in history through this mesmerizing photograph.
