EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the extreme southern point of the Indian sub-continent: Cape Comorin. Taken in 1967 by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, this image captures the essence of this breathtaking location. The scene unfolds with a magnificent seascape stretching as far as the eye can see. The vastness of the ocean is juxtaposed against a rugged cliff, adding an element of drama to the composition. Perched on top of this precipice is a small boat, seemingly dwarfed by its surroundings. It serves as a reminder of both human presence and vulnerability amidst nature's grandeur. Intriguingly, we catch glimpses of locals going about their daily lives in this remote corner of India. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of Cape Comorin's cultural tapestry. As we observe these individuals from afar, it becomes evident that they are part of India's diverse Asiatic populations. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also offers insights into anthropology and ethnography. It invites us to contemplate questions about population and nationality within such isolated regions. We are reminded that even in places where transportation options may be limited or unconventional – like the small boat depicted here – life continues to thrive. Quilici's masterful capture not only freezes a moment in time but also sparks our curiosity about folklore and traditions unique to Cape Comorin. This image encourages exploration beyond what meets the eye; it beckons us to delve deeper into untold stories waiting to be discovered. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate its artistic merit while acknowledging its potential for educational purposes rather than commercial use alone.
