EDITORS COMMENTS
The Urciuoli sources of the aqueduct of Naples stand tall and proud in this print captured by Achille Mauri between 1881-1885. The image showcases the intricate architecture and hydraulic structure that was essential for supplying water to the city of Naples during that era. In the foreground, a group of masons can be seen diligently working on scaffolding, their clothing reflecting the fashion and style of the time. Each worker is focused on their task, showcasing their dedication to their vocation. The aqueduct itself is a marvel to behold, with its movable parts and sturdy construction. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The scene exudes an air of both grandeur and functionality. Beyond just being an architectural wonder, this photo also captures something deeper - it portrays a snapshot of life during that period. The workers' portraits reveal individual stories etched onto their faces – tales of hard work, perseverance, and perhaps even dreams for a better future. Surrounding them are primary elements such as earth, stone, and water - natural phenomena that have shaped human civilization since time immemorial. These elements serve as reminders that despite our advancements in technology and infrastructure, we remain deeply connected to nature's forces. Achille Mauri's skillful composition allows us to travel back in time; it invites us into this moment frozen forever within this photograph. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but appreciate not only the beauty captured within these frames but also reflect upon how far we've come since then in our quest for progress.
