EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken around 1864 by Jacob Wothly, we are transported to a serene moment in time. The image showcases three men, identified as Hirten / Pifferari mit Brotzeit, immersed in their daily routine. With a direct gaze towards the camera, these German shepherds or Italian pifferari exude an air of authenticity and cultural heritage. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly a studio shot, where the men are captured reclining on the ground. Their relaxed postures suggest a brief respite from their laborious duties. As they lie down comfortably, one cannot help but notice their simple yet hearty meal spread out before them - bread and sustenance for hardworking individuals. Wothly's photography skillfully captures the essence of these men's lives during the 19th century. Through his lens, we catch a glimpse of their rugged features and stoic expressions that speak volumes about their resilience and determination. This remarkable wothlytype print from glass negative is now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), allowing us to appreciate not only Wothly's artistry but also gain insight into historical moments frozen in time. It serves as a testament to the power of photography in preserving our rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
