EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-180027-0000" takes us back in time to the Italo-Turkish War, also known as the war in Libya or Libyan campaign. The image captures a scene of infantry exercises with the use of camels, showcasing an intriguing blend of military strategy and unconventional transportation. Dated August 1913, this photograph offers a glimpse into a significant chapter in history when Italy was engaged in conflict with the Ottoman Empire over control of Libya. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that camels played a crucial role for both sides during this desert warfare. The composition highlights several key elements: horses standing alongside these terrestrial mammals, reminding us of their importance on the battlefield; soldiers dressed in military uniforms representing armed forces from different nations; and an overall sense of military life unfolding before our eyes. Beyond its historical significance, this image also provides insights into fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that era. The soldiers' attire showcases distinctive uniforms specific to their respective armies. This attention to detail adds depth to our understanding not only of military practices but also how societies expressed themselves through clothing choices. It is worth noting that this particular print is part of Alinari's collection and does not pertain to any commercial usage or company affiliation. Instead, it serves as a valuable record documenting populations, territories, and the complex history between Italy and Libya. As we reflect upon "FVQ-F-180027-0000" we are reminded once again that photography has an extraordinary ability to transport us across time and space while preserving moments forever etched within its frames.
