EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-F-004121-0000" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image showcases a pair of donkeys, their sturdy bodies and gentle expressions captured beautifully in profile. These magnificent terrestrial mammals stand near an enclosure wall, seemingly at ease within their surroundings. The donkeys themselves become the focal point of this photograph, with their sleek coats and strong physiques on full display. Their presence evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. As we gaze upon them, it is impossible not to marvel at the wonders of zoology and zootechnics that have brought these creatures into our lives. Surrounding the donkeys is an abundance of vegetation - straw strewn across the ground adds texture while various vegetal elements create a lush backdrop. This composition further emphasizes the connection between animals and their natural habitat. A cart wheelbarrow stands nearby, hinting at human intervention in harnessing these noble beasts for practical purposes. It serves as a reminder of our shared history with animals, highlighting how they have been integral to our daily lives throughout centuries. Although taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, this timeless photograph transcends its origins to tell a universal story about humanity's relationship with animals. It invites us to reflect on our deep-rooted connections with nature and appreciate the beauty found in simple moments like this one captured over a century ago. As we admire this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, let us be reminded that photographs can transport us through space and time - allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone but forever imprinted on film.
