EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Taking the census - with the bargees" captured by Alfieri on 17 June 1921, we are transported back to a vibrant moment in European history. The image showcases a canal boat adorned with intricate fashion details, gliding gracefully along the tranquil waterway. Standing proudly at the tiller is a group of bargees, their weathered faces reflecting years of navigating these historic canals. What truly brings life to this snapshot are the children present on board. A young boy and girl can be seen curiously peering over the edge of the boat, their eyes filled with wonderment as they observe their surroundings. Nestled safely in his mother's arms is an adorable baby, blissfully unaware of being part of this historical documentation. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its context as it captures a unique moment during which census data was collected from those living on canal boats. It serves as a reminder that every corner of society has stories worth telling and preserving. Alfieri's monochrome masterpiece transports us back to an era where life moved at a slower pace, where families lived harmoniously alongside nature's waterways. This stunning piece from TopFoto allows us to appreciate both the beauty found within everyday moments and our shared human experience throughout time.
