Broom Games And Pastimes Knitting Embroidery Sewing Spindle Ethnography And Folklore Of A Group

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000216-0078" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Naples in 1902. The image captures a mesmerizing scene within a courtyard, where three women proudly pose for the camera. Dressed in traditional costumes that beautifully reflect the rich cultural heritage of Naples, these women exude grace and elegance. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, we are drawn to the intricate details showcased by each woman's attire. Their outfits tell stories of generations past - knitting needles clutched delicately in hand, embroidery adorning their garments with exquisite precision, and sewing tools scattered around them as if whispering secrets from countless hours spent creating masterpieces. In this moment frozen in time, we witness more than just a portrait; it is a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable individuals. We can almost hear their laughter echoing through the courtyard as they engage in games and pastimes typical of their era. A spindle rests gently against one woman's side while another holds onto an object that piques our curiosity – perhaps an heirloom or cherished keepsake. The presence of a broom leaning against a wall hints at daily chores and responsibilities intertwined with moments of leisure and creativity. This amalgamation paints a vivid picture not only of these particular women but also offers insights into anthropology, ethnography, and folklore associated with Neapolitan culture during that period. Credit must be given to Cantarella A. , whose skillful eye captured this extraordinary scene forever etched on photographic paper by Alinari. Through this photograph print alone – without mentioning any commercial use – we are transported across time to appreciate the beauty found within everyday life and celebrate traditions passed down through generations.
