EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time at the Palace of the Maharajah in Trivanthapuram, also known as Trivandrum, located in the beautiful state of Kerala, India. The year is 1965, and amidst the grandeur of this regal palace stands a man with his trusty ox-drawn cart. The man exudes strength and resilience as he guides his loyal companion through the palace courtyard. The ox's powerful presence is juxtaposed against the intricate architecture and decorative elements that surround them. This image serves as a reminder of an era when such carts were not only essential for transportation but also symbolized tradition and heritage. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we notice how every detail tells a story. The man's attire reflects both civilian and military influences, with his turban serving as a distinctive headdress. His clothing showcases Indian fashion from that period while offering insights into cultural practices specific to Trivanthapuram. Beyond its anthropological significance lies an aesthetic appeal within this composition. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing each element present – from furniture scattered around civic spaces to cart wheels ready for their next journey. Photographer Folco Quilici has skillfully captured not just a simple moment but rather an entire narrative within one frame. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness life within this majestic palace during mid-20th century India. This print serves as a testament to history; it encapsulates both human ingenuity and nature's power working hand-in-hand amidst architectural wonders. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with tradition while appreciating the beauty found in everyday scenes like these – moments that would otherwise be lost if not preserved by talented photographers like Quilici.
