EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Alfieri in the 1920s, transports us to the enchanting Scilly Isles during the annual flower harvest. The image showcases a pivotal moment at Tresco, where narcissi plants are being carefully carted from their three-year stay in the earth back to the forcing houses. In this snapshot of rural life, we witness a group of hardworking adults - farmers and inhabitants of the island - diligently tending to these precious blooms. Men can be seen maneuvering wheelbarrows filled with boxes brimming with vibrant flowers, while others guide a horse-drawn cart laden with even more floral treasures. The backdrop is adorned with sprawling greenhouses that serve as nurturing sanctuaries for these delicate plants. Their presence stands as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards preserving nature's beauty. Alfieri's monochrome composition beautifully captures both the tranquility and industriousness of this scene. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each element within the frame, emphasizing not only the physical weight carried by these individuals but also their deep connection to their land. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we are reminded of how communities have long relied on nature's bounty for sustenance and livelihood. It serves as an homage to those who have dedicated themselves to cultivating our world's natural wonders – reminding us all of our inherent bond with Mother Earth.
