EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the banks of the majestic Ganges River in India, circa 1965. The lens captures a picturesque scene where sailboats gracefully glide across the tranquil waters, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. It is a snapshot that encapsulates both the beauty of nature and the ingenuity of human transportation. The composition showcases not only the sailboats themselves but also offers a glimpse into the surrounding landscape. The river's course meanders through lush greenery, with trees lining its shores, creating a serene backdrop for this maritime spectacle. The architecture of these small boats is simple yet elegant, their design perfectly suited for navigating these ancient waterways. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of how rivers have long served as lifelines for civilizations around the world. They provide vital transportation routes and connect communities along their banks. In this particular setting on the Ganges River, it becomes evident that sailboats were an essential method of transportation during that era. Photographer Quilici Folco skillfully captures this moment in time when traditional modes of travel still held sway over modern alternatives. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate not just the physical structures and vessels before us but also to contemplate our own relationship with nature and history. This Alinari print serves as a timeless reminder that there is something inherently beautiful about witnessing humans harmoniously coexist with their natural surroundings while utilizing them for practical purposes such as transportation on vast river systems like that of India's beloved Ganges River.
