EDITORS COMMENTS
In front of the majestic walls of the iconic "Red Fort" in Delhi, a captivating scene unfolds. The once defensive moat has been transformed into a vibrant public park, where dyers from the old city gather every day. Here, amidst the historical grandeur, they diligently dry long strips of fabric that will be used to create the renowned and exquisite saris. Delhi, India's bustling capital, is steeped in rich cultural heritage and this photograph captures a timeless tradition within its boundaries. The Red Fort stands as a testament to India's glorious past, with its construction dating back to 1638-1648 during the Mughal era. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from 1965, we witness artisans immersed in their craft. Each individual meticulously tends to their work with unwavering dedication and skill. Their hands gracefully maneuver through colorful fabrics while delicate patterns emerge before our eyes. This image not only showcases the artistry involved but also sheds light on Indian society and its diverse population. It offers glimpses into daily life as people go about their vocation against an awe-inspiring backdrop. The significance of textiles runs deep within Indian culture – it symbolizes tradition, identity, and craftsmanship passed down through generations. This print by Folco Quilici encapsulates all these elements harmoniously - architecture merging seamlessly with applied arts and crafts; history interwoven with contemporary life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, age-old traditions continue to thrive in pockets across India. Through this lens captured by Alinari's lens (not mentioning commercial use), we are transported back centuries ago while simultaneously appreciating how these customs endure today.
