EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1922, capturing a group of monks at the serene monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Italy. The image is extracted from the renowned book "Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past" edited by JA Hammerton and published by the Educational Book Company in London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a momentous scene within the monastery's courtyard. Clad in their traditional robes, these devout men are engaged in an essential task - raising water using a pulley system. With focused determination, they lift buckets filled with water to sustain their religious community. The photograph not only showcases the religious devotion prevalent during that era but also offers glimpses into Italian culture and European monastic life. It serves as a testament to both faith and resilience. Preserved through literature and art, this image allows us to travel back almost a century ago when simplicity reigned supreme. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to every detail captured by the unknown creator behind this remarkable piece. As we observe these dedicated individuals united for a common purpose, we can't help but feel inspired by their commitment to spirituality amidst tranquil surroundings. This print stands as an enduring reminder of our collective human history while celebrating Italy's rich cultural heritage.
