EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Hair Dresser of Saint Lucia in Naples, turn of the century" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Naples. Taken around 1895 by Alinari, Fratelli, this print captures a moment in time that is both nostalgic and intriguing. In the foreground, we see a female hairdresser diligently working on her client's hair. With precision and skill, she expertly styles her customer's locks while perched on a balcony overlooking the vibrant city below. The building elements surrounding them showcase intricate decorations and sections that reflect the architectural beauty of Naples during this era. The fashion choices depicted in this photo provide insight into the clothing trends of the time. Both women are dressed elegantly for daytime activities; their attire exudes sophistication and refinement. It is fascinating to observe how fashion played an essential role even within work environments such as hair salons. Beyond capturing a portrait with action, this image also offers us a glimpse into daily life in Naples at that period. The street scene unfolding beneath them reveals busy pedestrians going about their day amidst charming buildings lining narrow cobblestone streets. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are treated to breathtaking views of the cityscape stretching out before us. This panoramic vista showcases Napoli Santa Lucia from an elevated perspective – its unique charm captured forever through Alinari's lens. Finally, our attention is drawn towards an ornate chair placed beside them - perhaps reserved for future clients or simply serving as part of their workspace decorum. Alinari's photograph encapsulates not only exceptional craftsmanship but also provides historical context through its depiction of architecture, fashion trends, and everyday scenes from turn-of-the-century Naples.
