EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the market square of Sebenico (Serbia), where a woman is engrossed in her traditional craft. The engraving, based on Theodore Valerio's drawing, beautifully captures the essence of daily life in Dalmatia during the 19th century. The woman at the center of the image skillfully uses spindles to spin wool, showcasing her expertise and dedication to her craft. Her hands move with precision as she transforms raw materials into fine threads that will later be used for various purposes. This scene not only highlights her talent but also sheds light on the importance of handicrafts within Serbian culture. Surrounded by bustling commerce and curious onlookers, this woman stands out with her distinct attire and focused demeanor. She represents a long-standing tradition passed down through generations, symbolizing both resilience and preservation of cultural heritage. This print is part of the Selva Collection - a treasure trove capturing moments from different corners of the world. It was originally published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876, edited by Edouard Charton under Hachette edition in Paris. Through this enchanting snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how art can transport us across borders and eras while celebrating human ingenuity and customs that shape our collective identity.
