EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-F-000364-0000" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a mesmerizing view of a wooded landscape, as seen from inside a tunnel. It is as if we are peering through a portal into another world. The tunnel, an impressive feat of transportation infrastructure and architectural marvel, frames the scene perfectly. Its sturdy structure stands tall against the lush greenery that surrounds it. One can only imagine the countless journeys taken along this road, passing through this very tunnel. Amidst this picturesque setting, our attention is drawn to a young woman seated on the parapet of the road. Her presence adds an intriguing human element to the composition. Perhaps she sought solace or inspiration in nature's embrace, taking respite from her daily life within these serene surroundings. The landscape itself exudes tranquility and beauty with its dense woodland areas stretching far into the distance. Sunlight filters through gaps between trees, casting enchanting shadows upon moss-covered rocks and wildflowers that dot the forest floor. This remarkable photograph was captured by John H. Berd during 1879-1881 – an era when photography was still in its infancy but already capable of capturing such breathtaking scenes for posterity. As we gaze at this timeless image from Alinari's collection, we are reminded of nature's ability to captivate us across generations. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in constructing transportation routes amidst natural landscapes and an invitation to appreciate Earth's wonders that have remained largely unchanged throughout history.
