EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the talented photographer Quilici Folco in 1968, showcases the majestic Lake Nasser reservoir upstream of the iconic Aswan Dam in Egypt. With a top view perspective, this print offers a breathtaking glimpse into one of mankind's remarkable engineering achievements. The vastness of Lake Nasser is truly awe-inspiring as it stretches out like an immense azure canvas against the arid desert landscape. Its shimmering waters reflect the golden rays of sunlight, creating a mesmerizing contrast with the surrounding earth tones. The sheer magnitude of this man-made reservoir is evident as it extends far beyond what meets the eye. The Aswan Dam itself stands proudly at one end of Lake Nasser, its colossal structure appearing minuscule from this elevated viewpoint. This monumental feat of engineering was constructed to control and harness the mighty Nile River's flow for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation purposes. It symbolizes humanity's ability to tame nature while simultaneously respecting its power. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of human ingenuity but also our deep connection with water—a source of life and sustenance throughout history. The tranquil beauty captured here invites contemplation on how such grand projects can shape landscapes and impact communities. Quilici Folco's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the immensity and serenity present in this scene. Through his lens, he has frozen a moment that encapsulates both natural splendor and human achievement—an everlasting testament to our capacity for innovation and harmonious coexistence with nature. In acquiring this remarkable print from Alinari, we bring home not just an exquisite piece of art but also a tangible reminder that progress can be achieved without sacrificing reverence for our environment.
