EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Everyday work in an area of Delhi, India" transports us back to the bustling streets of Delhi in 1965. The image captures a vibrant scene filled with workers going about their daily tasks, offering us a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of life in this Indian city. In the foreground stands a man wearing a turban, his headdress symbolizing his cultural identity and perhaps his religious affiliation. He is engaged in manual labor, holding a pickaxe and standing beside a basket filled with unknown objects. His attire reflects both practicality and style - an interesting blend of civilian fashion mixed with military or religious accessories. Surrounding him are other individuals from different walks of life - men and women who form part of this dynamic group portrait. Their expressions range from focused determination to curiosity as they go about their own work or observe those around them. This snapshot not only captures the essence of everyday life but also hints at the social fabric that binds these individuals together. The photograph offers more than just visual appeal; it serves as an anthropological document providing insights into Indian society during that era. It highlights aspects such as population diversity, nationalities, and occupations within Delhi's urban landscape. Through Quilici Folco's lens, we witness scenes that reveal layers of culture, tradition, and human connection. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari Studios, we are reminded that behind every seemingly ordinary moment lies stories waiting to be discovered – stories that shape our understanding of history and humanity itself.
