EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri in 1921, we are transported to the glamorous streets of Monte Carlo, Monaco. Even in the midst of such opulence, it seems that no corner of the world is immune to the presence of hawkers. Standing on the casino terrace, a carpet seller boldly displays his wares to passing tourists. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when Europe was at its peak allure. The monochrome tones add an air of sophistication and timelessness to the scene, allowing us to imagine ourselves stepping back into history. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we can't help but be drawn into the bustling atmosphere surrounding this carpet salesman. Perhaps he is enticing potential buyers with tales of exotic lands or showcasing his craftsmanship through intricate patterns and vibrant colors. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in places renowned for their elegance and luxury like Monte Carlo's riviera, everyday life continues with its own unique charm. It captures not only an individual trying to make a living but also showcases how tourism has always been an integral part of these iconic destinations. Alfieri's masterful composition transports us back in time while evoking feelings of wanderlust and curiosity about those who have walked these very streets before us.
