EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-A-004633-0144" transports us back to a bygone era. Taken on August 8th, 1901, it captures a group of adventurous hikers under the majestic Bettaforca hill in the Val d'Ayas side. The two prominent figures in the photograph are Squinobal and Filippo Greppi, their faces filled with excitement as they embark on a walking excursion through this rocky landscape. The composition of this image beautifully showcases various natural elements and phenomena. The rugged rocks surrounding them create an awe-inspiring backdrop while highlighting the geomorphological wonders of this region. As we observe these male hikers dressed in fashionable clothing from that time period, we can't help but appreciate how fashion has evolved over the years. Intriguingly, one member of the group is seen holding a cane—a popular accessory during that era—adding an element of charm to this scene. It's evident that these individuals not only sought adventure but also enjoyed games and pastimes amidst nature's grandeur. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unidentified; however, their skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of valleys and mountains showcased here. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with landscapes and our desire to explore even when faced with rocky terrains. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us be reminded of our own thirst for discovery and appreciation for nature's wonders—inspired by those who came before us on their own unforgettable journeys.
