EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Full length portrait of a carter in traditional dress" takes us back to Rome in the late 19th century. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1890, giving us a glimpse into the past and allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of that era. In this image, we see a proud carter standing tall in his traditional attire. He wears clothing that reflects his vocation and masculine identity. His costume showcases intricate details, emphasizing the importance of fashion and clothing during that time period. From head to toe, every aspect has been carefully chosen - from his hat or headdress down to his footwear. The backdrop adds an interesting touch to the scene as it provides context for this carter's work environment. It hints at bustling streets filled with carts and horses, transporting goods through ancient Roman roads. One intriguing element in this portrait is the presence of a mandolin held by our subject. This musical instrument not only adds depth but also suggests that music played an integral role in daily life during those times. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes clear that Anderson aimed not only to capture a moment frozen in time but also sought to document European culture through photography. By doing so, he contributes significantly to anthropology, ethnography, and folklore studies. Alinari's exquisite print allows us today to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments on film as well as providing valuable insights into historical populations and nationalities across Europe.
