EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-001066-0028" we are transported back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century, where a remarkable scene unfolds before our eyes. The image captures a refrigerator wagon belonging to the Romanian State Railways, specifically designed for the transportation of fish. This unique method of transportation allowed for perishable goods like fish to be safely and efficiently transported across vast distances. As we delve deeper into the photograph, our attention is drawn towards the interior of the wagon. Here, we discover an ingenious solution employed by railway workers - baskets made from papier-mache filled with fresh fish. These carefully crafted containers ensured that delicate cargo remained intact during transit, preserving its quality until it reached its final destination. The train itself stands proudly on tracks laid upon solid ground, showcasing both technological advancement and human ingenuity in overcoming geographical barriers through land transport. The wheels leave distinct wheeltracks behind them as they glide along the rails, symbolizing progress and connectivity. Eckert's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical object at hand but also invites us to reflect upon larger themes such as innovation in transportation and mankind's ability to adapt nature's resources for their needs. This evocative photograph was captured between 1890-1900 by Alinari - a testament to their skill in immortalizing moments frozen in time. As viewers today, we can't help but marvel at this snapshot from history that encapsulates both practicality and beauty within its frame.
