EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-198577-0000" we are transported back in time to the enchanting world of 19th-century Romania. The scene unfolds on the magnificent Mihailesti railway bridge, where a group of individuals gathers at its parapet, gazing out into the distance with a sense of wonderment. The bridge itself is a testament to both transportation and architectural marvels of its era. Constructed entirely from iron and glass, it stands tall as a symbol of progress and connectivity. Its intricate design showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such an impressive structure. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice that each person in the group brings their unique style to this historical moment. Some shield themselves from the elements with elegant umbrellas while others showcase their fashionable clothing choices. Their attire reflects not only personal taste but also provides insight into societal norms and trends prevalent during this period. Although captured by an unidentified author over a century ago on May 13th, 1898, this photograph continues to captivate viewers today. It offers us glimpses into an era long gone but forever preserved through visual storytelling. Through Alinari's lens, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time, allowing us to connect with moments frozen in history. This particular print transports us back to Romania's past when rail travel was still relatively new and bridges like Mihailesti were symbols of progress bridging communities together. Let yourself be immersed in nostalgia as you explore this remarkable snapshot – one that encapsulates not just transportation or architecture but also fashion choices, human connection within a group portrait framed against an awe-inspiring backdrop.
