EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Jaipur in Northern India, capturing a mesmerizing detail of the façade of the Palace of Winds, also known as Hawa Mahal. Taken in 1967 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image showcases the intricate window design and architectural elements that make this palace an iconic landmark. The Palace of Winds stands tall with its honeycomb-like structure adorned with delicate decorations and sections. Its unique design allowed royal women to observe street activities without being seen themselves. In this particular shot, we see a glimpse into daily life as a bicycle passes by on the road below, adding a touch of movement and action to the scene. From this vantage point, one can admire not only the stunning architecture but also catch a view of Jaipur's bustling streetscape. The cityscape reveals indians going about their day – men and women representing Asiatic populations – showcasing both their diversity and unity. This photograph is not just an exquisite portrayal of architectural beauty; it offers insights into anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and nationality. It serves as a visual documentation capturing an era when traditional modes of transportation were prevalent on land. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while transporting our imagination back in time to experience the grandeur and charm that still resonates within these ancient walls today. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are reminded once again why Jaipur is rightly called "The Pink City" - for its vibrant history preserved through magnificent structures like Hawa Mahal.
