EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the ethereal beauty of Pontikonisi on Corfu, this vintage print by Borri, Bartolomeo & Figlio transports us back to the late 19th or early 20th century. The picturesque landscape unfolds before our eyes, revealing rolling hillsides and a captivating seascape that stretches as far as the eye can see. The composition is expertly framed, showcasing the island's unique charm amidst its natural surroundings. Pontikonisi emerges like a hidden gem in the vastness of the sea, its lush greenery contrasting against the deep blue waters that caress its shores. It stands proudly, an emblematic symbol of tranquility and serenity. The photographer's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this image. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each hillside while accentuating their undulating contours. The soft ripples on the surface of the sea create a sense of movement and evoke a gentle breeze that whispers through our imagination. As we gaze upon this timeless scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era long gone but forever preserved within these delicate emulsion layers. We can almost feel ourselves standing at this very spot over a century ago, breathing in crisp ocean air mingled with earthy scents from nearby vegetation. Borri, Bartolomeo & Figlio have masterfully captured not just an island but also a moment suspended between past and present. This photograph serves as both a window into history and an invitation to immerse ourselves in nature's grandeur. This remarkable print reminds us why photography has always been considered an art form – it allows us to witness fleeting moments transformed into everlasting memories.
