EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured on a chilly winter day in 1925, this print offers an animated view of a quaint street nestled within the enchanting city of Bruges, Belgium. Renowned photographer Aurelio Monteverde skillfully freezes time to transport us back to an era where horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation. In this lively scene, we witness the bustling energy of urban life as horses, terrestrial mammals and vertebrates alike, gracefully trot along the cobblestone road. The architecture surrounding them stands tall and proud, showcasing intricate details that reflect Bruges' rich history and cultural heritage. A female portrait catches our attention amidst the vibrant commotion. Her presence adds a touch of elegance to this dynamic tableau as she sits atop a gig – a two-wheeled carriage – confidently navigating through the busy streets. Her poised demeanor hints at her familiarity with such scenes and serves as a reminder that women too played significant roles in shaping society during this period. The action-packed atmosphere is further enhanced by other passersby who traverse on foot or ride their own carriages alongside her. This snapshot not only captures daily life but also showcases various methods of transportation available at that time. Monteverde's expert composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this street scene while simultaneously offering us glimpses into the wider cityscape beyond. As we gaze upon his work, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it was like traversing these historic avenues over nine decades ago. This remarkable photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for days gone by and appreciation for how cities evolve throughout time while still retaining their unique charm.
