EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. Junks on the Yangtse River, at the entrance of the port of Shanghai" takes us back to 1974, offering a glimpse into China's bustling cityscape during that era. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Quilici, Folco. The photograph transports us to the banks of the mighty Yangtse River, where a fleet of traditional Chinese junks gracefully navigate its waters. These majestic vessels stand as symbols of both tradition and progress, juxtaposed against the backdrop of modern Shanghai's skyline emerging in the distance. As we peer closer into this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the energy emanating from these ancient ships as they sail towards their destination. The composition skillfully captures an air of mystery and adventure; it invites viewers to imagine themselves aboard one of those junks, embarking on a voyage filled with untold stories and exotic encounters along China's most significant waterway. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to every detail within this frame – from intricate rigging systems to weathered wooden hulls - each element tells its own story. Quilici's masterful eye for capturing moments like these allows us not only to appreciate their aesthetic beauty but also serves as a reminder that photography has an incredible power: it enables us to travel through time without leaving our present surroundings. As we gaze upon this stunning visual narrative captured by Quilici over four decades ago, let us be transported across continents and immerse ourselves in Shanghai's rich history while honoring his talent for encapsulating fleeting moments that transcend generations.
