EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Aurelio Monteverde in Scanno on February 14,1926, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of simple beauty. The image titled "CAD-S-150014-0001" portrays a woman engrossed in the act of purchasing a book at a charming stall. The setting is an idyllic village scene, where the stand stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its structure exudes character and history, blending seamlessly with the architecture of the urban landscape. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves immersed within the vibrant commerce and trade that once animated these streets. The focus remains firmly on our protagonist – an anonymous woman whose presence adds depth to this street scene. Her expression reveals her genuine interest as she carefully selects her literary treasure from among the books displayed before her. Perhaps it is a novel that will transport her to distant lands or provide solace during quiet evenings at home. Beyond capturing this intimate portrait, Monteverde's lens also offers us glimpses of the surrounding countryside through strategically placed elements within his composition. These views remind us that life extends beyond city limits; they invite contemplation and evoke curiosity about what lies beyond those narrow streets. This remarkable print by Alinari allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a testament to human connection with objects like books - timeless vessels for knowledge and imagination. It reminds us that even amid bustling commercial activities, there are moments when individuals find solace and inspiration through literature. As we admire this photograph today, let us celebrate both its aesthetic appeal and its ability to transport us across generations into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry such as Aurelio Monteverde's lens has achieved here
