EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the vibrant Carnival festival, held on a Tuesday in the bustling city of Alexandria, Egypt. Taken around 1880 by Fiorillo, this timeless image captures the essence of joy and celebration that permeated through the streets during this annual event. The focal point of the photo is a magnificent fountain located in an urban square. Its intricate design and grandeur serve as a symbol of civic pride and architectural beauty. Surrounding it are various pieces of outdoor furniture, providing comfortable seating for festival-goers to relax and enjoy their surroundings. The atmosphere depicted in this photograph is one filled with cheerfulness and happiness. The allegorical nature of Carnival can be seen through abstract concepts such as membership, social rapport, society, politics, and human psychology. It represents a time when individuals come together to partake in games and pastimes while embracing their physiological and psychological aspects. In the background lies a picturesque view of the cityscape adorned with trees and vegetation. This juxtaposition between nature's tranquility and man-made festivities creates an intriguing contrast that further enhances the overall concept expressed within this snapshot. As we gaze upon this historical print from Alinari's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how festivity was ingrained into Egyptian culture. It serves as a testament to our shared human desire for merriment amidst our everyday lives – reminding us that celebrations have always played an integral role in bringing communities closer together throughout history.
