EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Benares, ships with oars in the Ganges" transports us to the bustling city of Benares in India during 1965. The image beautifully captures a scene along the majestic Ganges River, showcasing an array of ships adorned with oars. The composition of this print highlights both the architectural marvels and natural beauty that define Benares. In the foreground, we see a fleet of boats lined up along the riverbank, their oars resting peacefully on their sides. These vessels serve as vital modes of transportation for locals and visitors alike, navigating through the intricate network of river courses that crisscrosses this ancient city. As our gaze extends beyond these ships, we are treated to a panoramic view of Benares' stunning landscape. The architecture rises gracefully against the horizon; temples and palaces stand proudly amidst lush greenery. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature creates a harmonious balance within this vibrant metropolis. Moreover, Quilici's lens provides us with more than just a visual feast – it offers glimpses into Indian culture and society at large. We catch sight of Indians going about their daily lives: men tending to their boats or engaging in conversation while women clad in colorful saris walk gracefully by. In its entirety, this photograph serves as an anthropological treasure trove – capturing not only scenes from everyday life but also providing insight into Asiatic populations' customs and traditions. It is through images like these that we can appreciate folklore passed down through generations – stories woven intricately into every aspect of life here. Quilici's masterful portrayal invites us to immerse ourselves fully in this enchanting moment captured on film - where time stands still amid the ebb and flow of one India's most sacred riverscapes
