EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1965, we are transported to the vibrant streets of India. The image showcases a striking portrait of an Indian woman adorned in traditional attire, accompanied by a young boy. The woman's clothing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India, with her intricate veil and headdress adding an air of mystery and elegance. Her ensemble reflects not only tradition but also hints at various aspects of Indian society. From civilian to military influences, religious symbolism can be seen through her accessories such as the beret, necklace, and earrings. Each element tells a story about the diverse population and national identity that thrives within India. The focus on the woman's face allows us to appreciate her beauty and strength as she gazes directly into the camera lens. Her expression exudes confidence while simultaneously revealing tenderness towards the baby cradled in her arms. This intimate moment captures both maternal love and familial bonds that transcend time and borders. Photographer Folco Quilici has masterfully captured this scene with impeccable detail, showcasing his deep understanding of anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and their significance within different cultures worldwide. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari's collection without any mention of commercial use or association with any particular company or brand name - it serves as a reminder that art can transport us across continents while celebrating diversity in all its forms.
