EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1976, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Togo, where a traveling salesman captures our attention. The image portrays an itinerant vendor immersed in his daily commerce and trade, embodying the essence of hard work and dedication. The salesman's weathered face tells a story of resilience and perseverance as he navigates through bustling crowds, offering his wares to passersby. His eyes reflect both determination and weariness, revealing the challenges faced by those who depend on their vocation for survival. The portrait not only showcases the individual but also provides us with a glimpse into the diverse population and rich cultural heritage of Togo. As part of the negroid populations that inhabit this region, this man represents an integral thread in the tapestry of anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. Photographer Quilici Folco skillfully captures every detail with precision - from the intricate patterns adorning his clothing to each line etched on his face. Through this lens, we gain insight into a world often overlooked or forgotten by mainstream society. This print serves as a powerful reminder that behind every street corner lies untold stories waiting to be discovered. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found within different cultures but also recognize humanity's shared experiences across borders. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Alinari's lens, let us honor all those individuals who tirelessly navigate their way through life's uncertainties while enriching our understanding of global diversity.
