EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-140702-0000" is a remarkable postcard that commemorates the grand opening of the Simplon Tunnel. The year was 1905 when this engineering marvel forever changed transportation in Piedmont, Italy. The focal point of the postcard is an exquisite portrait of Carlo Brandau, the brilliant engineer behind this groundbreaking project. His determined gaze and confident stance embody his unwavering dedication to transforming travel through mountains. Illustrated by F. Gibelli, this stunning artwork captures not only Brandau's likeness but also his visionary spirit. Surrounding Brandau's portrait is a mesmerizing blend of allegory and abstract concepts symbolizing progress and connectivity. A female figure represents the region itself, personifying its vibrant energy and potential for growth. The tunnel emerges as a powerful symbol of transformation and innovation, while railway tracks signify efficient transportation systems that will shape future journeys. The landscape depicted in this print showcases majestic mountains towering over picturesque roads winding their way through nature's splendor. It beautifully encapsulates both architectural achievements and harmonious integration with nature. A male figure stands on the tracks beside a train, representing human presence amidst technological advancements. This scene emphasizes how land-based transportation has become an integral part of our lives. Adding further intrigue to this composition are wings - objects reminiscent of heraldic ornaments or crests adorning coats of arms - signifying freedom and speed associated with modern modes of transport. Created by Edit Duilio Raineri from Milano for Alinari, this print transports us back in time to witness history being made before our eyes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that progress knows no bounds when driven by visionaries like Carlo Brandau.
