EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-143986-0000" by Conrad, Giorgio from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the year 1865. The scene captured is both endearing and intriguing as it showcases children joyfully indulging in a plate of spaghetti with their hands. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the eating habits and diet of that era. Spaghetti, a beloved staple today, was still relatively new at the time. It's fascinating to observe how these young ones navigate their way through this solid food without any utensils, using only their hands. The composition of the photograph beautifully captures not only the children's messy yet delightful interaction with their meal but also highlights the structure and scene surrounding them. We can see an industrial-looking backdrop that suggests they might be in a cookhouse or some sort of communal dining area. One cannot help but wonder about the person or scene behind this moment frozen in time. Was it part of an industry-related project? Or perhaps simply an everyday occurrence documented by Conrad himself? Moreover, one particular child stands out among his peers—a young boy who seems lost in thought while enjoying his pasta feast. His portrait-like presence adds depth and emotion to this already compelling image. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and reflect on how something as simple as a shared meal can transcend time and connect us to our pasts.
