EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting, coloured photograph of Il Posilippo and the waterfront in Naples, Italy, dating from the late 19th century. The picture captures the picturesque and nostalgic charm of this historic district, located on the southern coast of the city. Il Posilippo, known for its stunning views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius, was once a popular destination for wealthy Neapolitan families seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. In this photograph, we see the elegant villas and gardens nestled along the waterfront, their vibrant colors contrasting against the deep blue waters of the bay. The scene is further enhanced by the traditional fishing boats moored at the shore, adding a touch of authenticity to the image. The boats, with their colorful sails and nets, were a common sight in Naples during this era, providing a vital source of income for the local fishermen. The photograph, which is part of a collection of photochrom prints, showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Naples during the 19th century. The use of the photochrom process, which involved hand-coloring photographs, adds a unique and captivating quality to the image, transporting us back in time and allowing us to experience the beauty and allure of Il Posilippo and the Naples waterfront as it once was.
