EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to the beach of Susak before the outbreak of the First World War. Captured through the lens of an unidentified photographer from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this image offers a glimpse into a serene and untouched landscape. The composition showcases a breathtaking seascape, with crystal-clear waters gently caressing the sandy shore. The beach stretches out before us, inviting us to imagine carefree days spent basking in the sun or frolicking in the waves. It is as if time stands still within this frame, preserving a moment of tranquility that would soon be shattered by conflict. Intriguingly, amidst this picturesque scenery lies a group of individuals whose identities remain unknown. Their presence adds depth and intrigue to an already captivating scene. Who were they? What stories did they carry with them? Were they aware that their lives would soon be forever altered by war? Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also serves as a historical document capturing Croatia's connection to both nature and empire during this tumultuous period. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was at its zenith when these shores were photographed between 1912-1914 – just years before it crumbled under pressure from global events. As we gaze upon this evocative image today, let us reflect on how much has changed since then while acknowledging our shared human experience across time and borders. This print allows us to connect with history on multiple levels: appreciating natural beauty, pondering personal narratives hidden within each figure present here, and contemplating larger geopolitical shifts that shaped our world. Through Alinari's preservation of such visual treasures like these prints from long ago eras - we are reminded not only of where we have been but also how far we have come as societies bound together by shared experiences throughout history.
