EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling city of Shanghai in 1974. Titled "Junks on the Yangts river, Shanghai 1974" this image captures a mesmerizing scene along the iconic Yangtze River. The renowned Italian photographer, Folco Quilici, skillfully frames this snapshot of China's vibrant maritime culture. In this picturesque landscape seascape, we witness an array of junks gracefully sailing across the tranquil waters. These traditional Chinese sailboats dominate the frame with their elegant silhouettes and intricately designed sails billowing in the wind. Each boat seems to tell its own story as they navigate through the vastness of the river. The composition is further enhanced by Quilici's keen eye for detail - ropes crisscrossing between masts and hulls create a visually striking pattern against the backdrop of Shanghai's skyline. This juxtaposition between ancient nautical craftsmanship and modern urban development adds depth to this remarkable photograph. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported into a world where time seems suspended - a moment frozen forever in history. The stillness captured by Quilici allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these boats but also contemplate their significance within China's rich cultural heritage. This print from Alinari serves as a powerful reminder that transportation can be more than just getting from point A to B; it can be an art form that connects people with their surroundings and history. Through his lens, Quilici invites us to embark on our own journey along the Yangtze River, immersing ourselves in its timeless allure while marveling at these majestic junks navigating through both water and time itself.
