EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishing scene, western Bengala" takes us back to the mesmerizing landscapes of India in 1965. The renowned photographer Quilici, Folco skillfully captures a moment that immerses us in the daily life of the people living along the river courses. In this intriguing composition, our attention is immediately drawn to a male figure who stands at the center of the frame. Completely nude, his body becomes one with nature as he engages in his work as a fisherman. With an instrument in hand and a net draped over his shoulder, he exudes both strength and grace. The vastness of the landscape surrounding him adds depth to this fishing scene. The river courses meander through lush greenery, creating a serene backdrop for this laborious task. It's evident that these waters are not only essential for sustenance but also hold cultural significance for these indigenous communities. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes apparent that it offers more than just a glimpse into their daily routine; it provides insight into Indian anthropology and ethnography. By showcasing aspects such as population diversity and nationality among Indians and Asiatic populations, Quilici sheds light on their rich folklore and traditions. Alinari has masterfully preserved this historical snapshot from Western Bengala's past—a testament to their commitment to preserving cultural heritage through photography prints like these. This particular image transcends time by capturing an intimate moment frozen forever within its frame—an invitation for viewers to explore another era while appreciating human resilience amidst nature's bounty.
