EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Ostricaio" takes us back in time to the bustling waterfront of Santa Lucia in Naples, Italy around 1895. The image captures a vibrant scene of fish and oyster sellers going about their daily trade. In the foreground, we see a vendor standing proudly behind his stand, showcasing an array of fresh seafood delicacies. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and dedication as he skillfully tends to his customers' needs. The structure itself is simple yet functional, providing a platform for commerce and trade that sustains both the seller and the local community. The backdrop reveals the picturesque beauty of Naples' waterfront with its charming buildings lining the shore. This scenic setting serves as a reminder that this scene is not just about business but also about culture and heritage. The significance of this photograph extends beyond mere documentation; it offers insights into various aspects of life during that era. It provides glimpses into people's diets, highlighting the importance of fish as a solid food source alongside oysters – those fascinating mollusks known as bivalves lamellibranchia. Moreover, this image invites us to reflect on themes such as work and vocation, anthropology, ethnography, folklore, population diversity within Europe (as represented by Europeans or people with European origins), nationalities present in Italy at that time - all through the lens of these dedicated food vendors. Alinari Fratelli's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating the timeless artistry captured within each frame. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to an era where hardworking individuals like these fish and oyster sellers played vital roles in shaping communities along coastal regions like Santa Lucia in Naples.
