EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Brogi in the early 1900s, transports us back in time to Lavatore street in Rome. The image showcases three women standing proudly next to a collection of baskets filled with their merchandise. The scene is bustling with activity as these hardworking vendors display their wares for potential customers passing by. Each basket is meticulously arranged, showcasing an array of goods that range from fresh produce to handmade crafts. The craftsmanship of the baskets themselves is evident, made from sturdy straw and expertly woven. The women exude a sense of determination and pride as they tend to their market stalls. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the era - long skirts paired with modest blouses, complemented by stylish hats adorning their heads. These accessories add a touch of elegance to their overall appearance. In the background, we catch glimpses of daily life on Lavatore street - people going about their business and various modes of transportation such as carts and wheelbarrows navigating through the busy thoroughfare. The composition captures not only the essence of commerce and trade but also provides insight into societal norms during this period. It offers a glimpse into how individuals earned a living through honest work while simultaneously reflecting on fashion choices that were prevalent at that time. Brogi's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this historical snapshot, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and documentary nature. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of entrepreneurship found within communities throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded that even though times have changed since then, certain aspects remain timeless - like hard work, dedication, and human connection fostered through local markets like those found on Lavatore street over a century ago.
