EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Naples, Italy, capturing a street scene on Via Pallonetto S. Lucia. The image is a reproduction of an original work by German photographer Giorgio Sommer, known for his remarkable documentation of Italian landscapes and cityscapes during this era. The photograph provides a glimpse into the social history of Naples at that time, revealing the challenging living conditions faced by many residents. The houses lining the narrow street appear dilapidated and cramped, reflecting the poverty prevalent in this slum area. Clothes hang from lines above as people go about their daily lives amidst these humble surroundings. Sommer's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural state of these buildings but also offers insight into the lives of those who called this neighborhood home. This archival piece serves as a valuable historical record, shedding light on both Italian society and German photographic techniques from that period. Welsh historian Ken has carefully preserved this photograph print within his collection, ensuring its longevity for future generations to explore and learn from. It serves as a reminder of how photography can be used to capture moments in time while providing invaluable insights into our shared human experience across different cultures and eras.
