EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Benares, ships with oars near the 'gath' in the Ganges" transports us to the bustling city of Benares in India. Taken in 1965 by photographer Folco Quilici, this image captures a serene moment amidst the vibrant river courses. In this landscape, we see small boats gracefully gliding through the tranquil waters of the Ganges. The oars gently cutting through the surface create ripples that reflect a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. The scene showcases an essential method of transportation for locals as they navigate their way across this sacred river. The view extends beyond just water and boats; it offers a glimpse into daily life within Benares itself. From afar, we catch sight of architectural wonders lining its banks, hinting at a rich history and cultural heritage. This portrait-like composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also provides insight into Indian culture. The presence of Indians going about their routines on these vessels emphasizes both anthropology and ethnography aspects captured by Quilici's lens. It serves as a reminder that this diverse nation is home to various populations with unique traditions and customs. As we delve deeper into this photograph, our imagination takes flight – envisioning stories unfolding along these ancient riverbanks. We are reminded that scenes like these have been witnessed for centuries, connecting generations past with those present. Quilici's skillful capture immortalizes an enchanting moment in time while simultaneously inviting viewers to explore further into India's folklore-rich tapestry. This print from Alinari is more than just an object; it is a gateway to understanding different cultures and appreciating humanity's shared experiences across borders.
