EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide, hailing from the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the beautiful and vibrant region of Naples, Italy. The image features a Neapolitan woman, dressed in traditional attire, who exudes a sense of strength and grace as she balances a jug in her right hand, resting it on her hip. With her left hand, she skillfully supports a woven basket atop her head, filled to the brim with freshly picked red and green grapes. The serene water scene and majestic mountains in the background add to the idyllic atmosphere, highlighting the picturesque beauty of Italy. The rich, saturated colours of the lantern slide bring the scene to life, allowing us to almost taste the ripe grapes and feel the warm Italian sun on our skin. This charming photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Neapolitan people during the 1890s. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and the deep connection to the land that once defined the Italian way of life. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of Italy, making it a treasured addition to any collection of historical photographs.
