EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases a man striking a pose next to three mules that are heavily burdened with stones. It is evident that these hardworking animals played an essential role in transporting materials during this era. As our gaze extends beyond the mules, we are greeted with a breathtaking view of Sorrento and the Sorrento Peninsula near Naples. The landscape unfolds before us, revealing lush valleys and a picturesque gulf meeting the vast expanse of the sea. This stunning backdrop adds depth and beauty to the composition. The man's attire provides interesting insights into fashion choices of that period. He wears popular civilian clothing, complete with a hat as his headgear - perhaps reflecting his social status or personal style preferences. Although it is unclear whether he has any military or religious affiliation based on his accessories, they add intrigue to his character. This portrait captures not only human presence but also highlights how humans interacted with their environment at that time. The stones loaded onto the mules symbolize laborious tasks undertaken for construction purposes or other endeavors. Brogi's skillful photography transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur simultaneously. As we contemplate this remarkable image, let us reflect upon how much has changed since then while cherishing our connection to history through such timeless prints like this one from Alinari.
