EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us to the enchanting Italian Lakes region, specifically to the bustling Wood Market. The scene is set against the backdrop of the serene and picturesque Italian Lakes, with their crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the market, we see a towering stack of meticulously arranged logs, ready to be selected by customers. The wood, seasoned and dried to perfection, is a testament to the region's rich natural resources and the importance of wood as a primary source of heat and energy during this era. The market is teeming with activity, as customers haggle and barter with the vendors, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of lanterns. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with the sounds of laughter and lively conversation filling the air. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 184, which offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of the Italian Lakes region during the early 1900s. The intricate details, from the textures of the wood to the expressions on the faces of the customers, make this a truly captivating and evocative image that transports us to a bygone era.
