EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-S-003384-0002" takes us back in time to the enchanting shores of Lago d'Orta. The image showcases the picturesque Island of San Giulio, beautifully framed by an arch on the right side. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to a woman standing on a terrace beneath the arch, adding a touch of mystery and intrigue. The tranquil lake serves as a mirror for three traditional boats that grace its surface. One of these boats is seen departing from the shore with its skilled boatman aboard. Their presence adds life and movement to this serene landscape captured on film over a century ago. Dating back to September 8th, 1899, this photograph allows us to step into history and witness the architectural elements and decorations that adorned riverbanks along Lago d'Orta during that era. It offers glimpses into urban structures and buildings while highlighting their intricate details. Alinari's masterful composition not only captures the beauty of nature but also provides insight into daily life at that time. This snapshot reveals both work and vocation through scenes depicting people engaged in their respective professions. The island itself becomes an integral part of this visual narrative—a small yet significant piece of land surrounded by vast waters. Its presence evokes curiosity about what lies beyond its shores—what stories it holds within its ancient walls. As we immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen in time, Alinari's skillful use of light and perspective transports us effortlessly onto those distant shores where tranquility meets human activity amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
