EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Postal effects dumped by steamers in the port of Genoa, also the Militia P. T" offers a glimpse into an intriguing scene from early 20th century Italy. Taken between 1910 and 1920, this image transports us to a bustling port filled with activity. In the foreground, we see a majestic horse pulling a cart wheelbarrow laden with postal effects. The horse stands tall and strong, embodying both power and grace as it navigates through the busy port. This terrestrial mammal is surrounded by various objects related to transportation and architecture, highlighting the importance of efficient postal services during that era. A lone postal worker can be seen nearby, diligently attending to his duties amidst the chaos of the bustling scene. His presence adds a human touch to this otherwise industrial setting, reminding us of the dedicated individuals who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure smooth mail operations. The composition captures not only elements related to work and vocation but also zoology and zootechnics. It serves as a testament to how animals played an integral role in daily life back then – serving as reliable companions for humans in their laborious tasks. The authorship of this remarkable photograph remains unidentified but its historical significance cannot be overlooked. Through this lens, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how postal services were managed at one of Italy's busiest ports. This Alinari print provides us with a unique window into our past - offering insights into both our cultural heritage and technological advancements over time.
