EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, between the wars, where we witness an incredible process of making ice bricks at Cady Hall. The scene showcases a group of skilled workers using a series of circular saws to cut large blocks of ice into perfectly shaped bricks. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in this labor-intensive task. The contrast between light and shadow highlights the precision with which each block is carved out. As we delve into this snapshot from history captured by Alfieri, we are reminded of the ingenuity and resourcefulness that characterized early 20th-century life in Europe. Ice was not readily available as it is today, so methods like these were employed to preserve perishable goods or provide cooling during warmer months. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also serves as a testament to human adaptability and determination. It reminds us that even in challenging times, individuals found innovative ways to meet their needs. Alfieri's skillful composition invites us into an era long gone but still resonates with our appreciation for hard work and creativity. This print stands as a tribute to those who came before us and left their mark on our world through their dedication and resilience.
