EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-003556-0006" we are transported back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image captures a magnificent giant sycamore tree, standing proudly near the wells of Debarroa, located south of Asmara. The landscape surrounding the tree is barren and desert-like, with rocky areas scattered throughout. Despite these harsh conditions, the sycamore stands tall as a symbol of resilience and strength. Its branches reach outwards, providing shade for any weary traveler who may pass by. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate the beauty of nature's vegetal elements. The texture of the trunk reveals years of growth and survival against all odds. Surrounding vegetation appears scarce but manages to thrive amidst challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even in seemingly inhospitable environments, life finds a way to flourish. It invites us to reflect on our own ability to adapt and overcome obstacles that come our way. This remarkable piece was created by an unidentified author from Alinari—a testament to their keen eye for capturing moments that transcend generations. While its commercial use remains undisclosed, one cannot deny its artistic value and historical significance. Through this evocative image, we are invited into an era long gone yet preserved forever through photography—an opportunity to connect with past landscapes while contemplating the power and beauty found within nature's creations.
