EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "On the Niger River" takes us on a journey through time to Nigeria in 1966. The image, captured by the talented photographer Folco Quilici, showcases a breathtaking landscape of river courses that stretch as far as the eye can see. In this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to the tranquil waters of the Niger River. A small boat gracefully glides across its surface, leaving gentle ripples in its wake. The composition is perfectly balanced, with the vastness of the river dominating the foreground while distant shores and foliage frame it from both sides. The photograph not only captures nature's beauty but also provides insight into local life and transportation methods during that era. It offers a glimpse into how people relied on waterways for their daily commute or trade activities. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when rivers were vital arteries connecting communities and facilitating movement. Quilici's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this already stunning landscape. The contrast between dark clouds hovering above and patches of sunlight breaking through creates an ethereal atmosphere that enchants viewers. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Alinari, our imagination wanders along with that small boat navigating these serene waters. We find ourselves yearning to experience firsthand what life was like on the Niger River back then – witnessing its grandeur up close, feeling its gentle currents against our skin, hearing whispers carried by winds rustling through nearby trees. "On the Niger River" serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's intricate relationship with nature and how bodies of water have shaped civilizations throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with landscapes around us while marveling at Quilici's ability to capture such profound moments in his lens.
