EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting streets of Port-Limon, Costa Rica. Taken around 1890-1899 by the talented photographer Caney, this image captures the essence of a bustling urban scene amidst a backdrop of lush vegetation. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are greeted by a picturesque street lined with charming houses that showcase the unique architecture of this Central American town. The intricate details on these structures provide insight into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The presence of towering trees adds an element of tranquility to this vibrant street scene. Their branches reach out as if embracing both nature and civilization in perfect harmony. It is evident that botany plays a significant role in shaping not only the physical landscape but also the spirit and character of Port-Limon. Intriguingly, scattered along this road are objects that hint at daily life during that era - perhaps carts or other means of transportation used by locals going about their routines. This glimpse into everyday existence offers us a glimpse into what it was like to be part of this thriving community over a century ago. Moreover, one cannot overlook how this photograph serves as a testament to Costa Rica's diverse population and indigenous roots. The influence from Native American cultures is palpable here, reminding us that Port-Limon has been shaped not only by its natural surroundings but also by its people – their traditions, customs, and way of life. Caney's masterful composition invites us to delve deeper into anthropology, ethnography, folklore – disciplines that explore human societies' intricacies across time and space. Through his lens, he presents an open invitation for exploration and discovery within every corner captured in this stunning snapshot from Alinari's collection
