EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the enchanting world of childhood innocence. Taken around 1960 in Italy, it showcases a mesmerizing display of merry-go-round horses, beautifully crafted from wood. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each horse exuding its own unique charm and character. These wooden toys were not merely objects but works of art within the realm of applied arts and crafts. They symbolize a bygone era when games and pastimes were simpler yet held immense joy for children and adults alike. These merry-go-round horses evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of carefree days spent at amusement parks or fairs. The composition captures these whimsical creatures on the road, ready to embark on their next adventure. Their vibrant colors contrast against the monochromatic backdrop, adding an element of vibrancy to this scene. It's as if they are frozen in time, waiting for their turn on the grand carousel. Transportation plays a significant role in this image as well - be it through land or imagination itself. The cart wheelbarrow nearby suggests that these cherished toys were carefully transported from one location to another so that children could experience pure delight wherever they went. Photographers Villani Achille and Ferri Luciano have skillfully captured this moment in history without mentioning any commercial use associated with it. Instead, they focus solely on preserving the magic encapsulated within these wooden treasures. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Alinari, we are reminded that sometimes all it takes is a simple object like a merry-go-round horse to transport us back in time - evoking memories filled with laughter, wonderment, and endless possibilities
