EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Water Seller in Palermo" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Italy. The date of this timeless image is estimated to be around 1900, capturing a moment frozen in time. In the heart of Palermo, an itinerant water vendor stands proudly amidst his wares. His weathered face tells stories of countless journeys through Sicily's vibrant capital city. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the fashion and style of his era, he embodies the spirit of a bygone era. With a gesture as if inviting passersby into his world, he holds up a glass filled with cool refreshment - a symbol not only for quenching one's physical thirst but also for nourishing the soul. The glass itself becomes an instrument of communication between him and potential customers. Surrounded by various kitchenwares and containers used to transport his precious liquid cargo, this pedlar showcases both simplicity and resourcefulness in his trade. His occupation represents more than just commerce; it represents hard work and dedication to serving others. The scene captured here offers us glimpses into daily life during this period – scenes that are often forgotten or overlooked. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary moments can hold great significance when viewed through the lens of history. Brogi's masterful photography allows us to delve into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - offering insights into European culture at large during this time period. This portrait provides valuable documentation on peoples' lives from different walks of life across Europe. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only the work and vocation but also feeling connected to our shared human experience throughout generations past.
