EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-001934-0000" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Naples during the mid-19th century. The image captures a picturesque scene featuring a magnificent gig drawn by two majestic horses in front of the iconic fountain of Santa Lucia. The grandeur of this horse-drawn carriage is truly awe-inspiring, as it stands proudly against the backdrop of the ornate fountain. To the right of the fountain, we can see stands that were once used for selling oysters, although they appear to be closed at this particular moment. The date indicated on this print suggests that it was taken between 1860 and 1865. It provides us with a rare glimpse into an era when commerce and trade thrived in Naples. The architecture surrounding the scene showcases impressive structures and sites that were integral to daily life during that time period. Transportation plays a significant role in this photograph, as it depicts not only a means of getting from one place to another but also serves as a symbol of action and movement within society. This street scene offers viewers an immersive experience, allowing them to envision themselves amidst the hustle and bustle of city life in Naples over a century ago. Giorgio Sommer skillfully captured this view with his camera lens, showcasing his talent for preserving moments frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while marveling at how much has changed since then - yet also recognizing how certain elements endure throughout generations.
