EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the sun-drenched streets of Naples, Italy, before the turn of the twentieth century. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a traditional Neapolitan scene of macaroni drying on the cobblestones. The image is a beautiful testament to the simple pleasures of daily life in Naples during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The macaroni, spread out to dry in the sun, is interspersed with the shadows of the old buildings and cobblestones, creating a striking contrast. The women in the background, dressed in traditional Neapolitan attire, add to the authenticity of the scene. The use of a lantern slide adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. Lantern slides were a popular means of projecting photographs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and this technique allowed people to bring the world into their homes through projected images. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past of Naples, a city renowned for its rich history and vibrant culture. The image captures the essence of the city's past, with its narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the simple yet essential activity of drying macaroni. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing us with a window into the past and a reminder of the simple pleasures of life that have endured through the centuries.
