EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-010009-0012" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image beautifully captures a tender moment between a man and a young girl, evoking feelings of nostalgia and innocence. The portrait showcases the impeccable fashion sense of that era, with both subjects impeccably dressed. The man exudes an air of sophistication in his tailored suit, complete with a crisp shirt and polished shoes. His confident posture suggests he is someone of importance, perhaps a father or guardian figure to the little girl beside him. Speaking of which, our attention is immediately drawn to the adorable child standing by his side. Her dress reflects the fashion trends for children during that period - delicate lace details adorn her collar while her hair is neatly styled with ribbons. Despite her youthfulness, there's an undeniable maturity in her eyes as she gazes up at the man affectionately. Photographed by Aurelio Monteverde under Alinari's lens between March 28th and 30th in 1909, this timeless image serves as a testament to their skillful artistry capturing human emotions frozen in time. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. This photograph transcends mere documentation; it tells stories untold through its subjects' expressions and attire. It invites viewers to imagine what life was like during those days when clothing was meticulously chosen for every occasion. "Portrait of a Man with Girl" encapsulates not only fashion history but also portrays themes such as family bonds, childhood innocence, and societal norms prevalent at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Monteverde's collection without mentioning commercial use or focusing on any specific company associated with it let us appreciate its artistic value that continues to captivate audiences even over a century later
