EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Folco Quilici in 1965, transports us to the enchanting waterways of West Bengal, India. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of long-boats and shipways nestled along the serene shores. The composition captures the essence of river transportation with its intricate structure and architecture. The shipways stand tall against the backdrop of a breathtaking landscape formed by the meandering river courses. A barge gracefully glides through the calm waters, offering a glimpse into an age-old method of transportation that has shaped this region's history. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, our eyes are drawn to various elements within the frame. Lush vegetation surrounds the shorelines, adding a touch of natural beauty to this man-made marvel. Leaves rustle gently in the wind as ropes dangle from nearby objects, hinting at their practical use for securing vessels. Intriguingly, scattered throughout this scene are individuals who embody Indian culture and heritage – Indians themselves – representing Asiatic populations with rich histories intertwined with these waterways. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of anthropology, ethnography, and folklore associated with West Bengal. Quilici's masterful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in this picturesque moment frozen in time. It invites us to ponder upon not only the physical aspects but also offers a glimpse into daily life along these magnificent riverbanks. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a window into another world where nature meets human ingenuity seamlessly. It reminds us that rivers have always been lifelines for civilizations around which societies flourish and thrive.
