EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of Chennai (Madras), in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Taken in 1965 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, it captures a vibrant scene that is both timeless and evocative. In the foreground stands a rickshaw, an iconic mode of transportation synonymous with Indian cities. The rickshaw puller can be seen energetically maneuvering his vehicle through the crowded street, showcasing the daily hustle and bustle of life in this vibrant city. Behind him, a bus makes its way along the road, adding to the dynamic atmosphere. The image provides us with a glimpse into everyday life in Chennai during this era – a snapshot frozen in time. It offers not only an insight into transportation methods but also serves as a window into Indian culture and society at large. The view extends beyond just transport; it reveals glimpses of buildings and shops lining both sides of the street. This urban landscape showcases Chennai's unique architectural style while providing context for its residents' daily activities. Moreover, this photograph speaks volumes about diversity - capturing Indians going about their day-to-day lives amidst their rich cultural heritage. With its focus on anthropology, ethnography, and folklore aspects, it highlights how different populations coexist harmoniously within this vibrant cityscape. Quilici's masterful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves fully in this moment captured over half a century ago – feeling as though they are right there on that very street corner experiencing all its sights and sounds firsthand. Overall, this print encapsulates not only an exquisite visual portrayal but also serves as an invaluable historical document preserving Chennai's past for generations to come.
