EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alinari, Fratelli, we are transported back in time to the mid-19th century. The image, titled "MFC-F-000023-0000" captures a full-figure portrait of a young man with his face turned in profile. Standing confidently in a studio setting, he exudes an air of sophistication and mystery. The young man's stylish attire immediately catches our eye. He is dressed impeccably, donning a fashionable hat that adds an element of charm to his overall appearance. His choice of clothing reflects the trends of the era, showcasing the intricate details and craftsmanship prevalent during this period. What truly sets this portrait apart is the unexpected accessory that adorns his mouth – a cigar. With nonchalant ease, he holds it between his lips as if it were an extension of himself. This small but significant detail hints at both rebellion and indulgence, providing insight into societal norms surrounding smoking during that time. Next to him stands an elegant armchair, serving as both a prop and symbolizing comfort and relaxation within the confines of the studio space. It invites us to imagine what stories lie behind those eyes hidden from view. Alinari skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also something intangible about this young man's essence through their lens. We are left wondering about his identity and intrigued by what lies beyond the frame. This photograph serves as a window into history – offering glimpses into pastimes enjoyed by individuals like him during that era: games played or scenes witnessed while puffing on cigars among friends or acquaintances alike. Through Alinari's artistry, we are reminded once again how photography can freeze moments in time forever etched upon paper for generations to come.
