EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aguatero" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, around 1890. The image showcases a water vendor with his cart, embodying the essence of commerce and trade in this vibrant city. The central figure is the aguatero himself, a merchant who navigates through urban landscapes to quench the thirst of locals. With determination etched on his face, he skillfully maneuvers his horse-drawn cart along the road. This scene captures not only an action but also reveals a glimpse into transportation methods of that era. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we notice elements that contribute to its authenticity. The street view offers a panoramic vista of Buenos Aires' evolving architecture and vegetation. A majestic tree stands tall nearby while barrels are neatly arranged on the cart - essential tools for delivering precious water to parched residents. This image also invites contemplation about cultural diversity as it portrays Central and South American peoples going about their daily lives. It serves as an anthropological window into native populations during this period. The composition itself is masterful; every element harmoniously works together to create a vivid snapshot frozen in time. Through Alinari's lens, we witness history unfolding before our eyes - an intimate connection between past and present. Whether displayed in homes or galleries worldwide, this print sparks curiosity and transports viewers back to late 19th-century Buenos Aires—a testament to human resilience amidst bustling city life.
