EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "WWA-F-002019-0000" we are transported back to the enchanting world of the 18th century. The image captures a momentous occasion at a publicity pavilion dedicated to showcasing the evolution of shoes through the centuries. Stepping into this historical scene, we find ourselves immersed in an era where communication was not only verbal but also conveyed through fashion and clothing. The focal point of the photograph is a mesmerizing display by Donda shoemakers, who have meticulously crafted an array of exquisite footwear from different periods. Their craftsmanship is truly remarkable, as each shoe tells its own story about society's ever-changing tastes and trends. From delicate slippers adorned with intricate embroidery to sturdy boots fit for exploration, these shoes serve as silent messengers that connect us with our ancestors' sense of style. Both male and female figures grace this scene, dressed in period costumes that further enhance the authenticity and charm of this exhibition. The women wear elegant gowns with corsets accentuating their hourglass figures, while men don dashing suits complete with powdered wigs and tricorn hats. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident how much significance footwear held within society during those days gone by. Shoes were more than mere accessories; they represented status, class, and personal expression. Photographer Wanda Wulz skillfully captures every detail in her composition – from the structure of the pavilion itself to each individual's pose – allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment from 1930s Italy. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and fashion alike. It reminds us that even though times change rapidly around us, certain elements like shoes continue to hold immense cultural value throughout generations.
