EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Tiflis: Watermelon seller" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to the bustling streets of Tiflis, the capital city of Georgia (modern-day Tbilisi). The image showcases a group of men dressed in traditional attire engaged in the age-old trade of selling watermelons. The scene is filled with vibrant energy as these traders proudly display their juicy fruits. Their faces tell stories of hard work and determination, reflecting a snapshot of social history during this period. The intricate details captured by the artist's drawing skillfully bring out every line on their weathered faces, revealing years spent under the sun while tending to their business. The backdrop reveals a glimpse into life at that time - narrow streets lined with buildings that exude an air of antiquity. This illustration transports us to a different era, where business was conducted through personal interactions and street vendors were an integral part of daily life. As we immerse ourselves in this turn-of-the-century setting, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just commerce; it encapsulates culture and tradition. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there are certain aspects deeply rooted in our past that continue to shape our present. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It invites contemplation about how societies evolve over time while preserving fragments of their heritage.
