EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FVQ-F-150159-0000" offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time between 1870 and 1890. The image features a young coloured Moorish man, his face exuding both strength and vulnerability. With a basket resting on his shoulder, he stands tall amidst an unknown backdrop. The man's attire is strikingly detailed, showcasing elements of ethnic fashion and clothing. A mantle cloak drapes over his shoulders, adding an air of regality to his appearance. His waistcoat complements the ensemble perfectly while drawing attention to the intricate craftsmanship of applied arts and crafts. Every aspect of this portrait tells a story - from the carefully styled hairdo that frames his face to the expression in his eyes that hints at resilience despite facing poverty or challenging social conditions. This scene captures not only an individual but also provides insight into society and politics during that era. Transportation plays its part in this narrative as well; although we cannot see it directly, there are references to other types of transportation by land within the description. Perhaps this young man relied on such means for survival or livelihood. It is important to note that this photograph was taken by an Unidentified Author associated with Alinari - not just any company but one renowned for its contributions in photography throughout history. While we may never know who specifically captured this moment frozen in time, their talent shines through every detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us appreciate its significance beyond commercial use. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared humanity and encourage us to explore anthropology, ethnography, folklore - disciplines that shed light on diverse populations and nationalities like those represented here among black Africans and negroid communities.
