EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Rome in the late 19th century. The image captures a moment of freight transport on Via dei Cerchi, showcasing the city's vibrant urban life and its reliance on horse-drawn carriages for transportation. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a coachman skillfully maneuvering his cart through the crowded street. The magnificent horses that pull the carriage are powerful terrestrial mammals, their muscles straining as they navigate the cobblestone road with ease. These majestic creatures were an integral part of daily life, serving as both companions and reliable means of transportation. The architecture surrounding Via dei Cerchi provides a stunning backdrop to this scene. Tall buildings line either side of the street, their ornate facades reflecting an era characterized by grandeur and elegance. The structures stand as silent witnesses to centuries past, bearing witness to countless stories unfolding within their walls. As our eyes wander through this photograph, we notice various objects scattered along the avenue - baskets filled with goods waiting to be transported or sold at nearby markets. These simple yet essential items speak volumes about everyday life during that period – a testament to hard work and vocation. Roesler Franz Ettore's masterful composition captures not only a method of transportation but also offers us a glimpse into history itself. It reminds us how much has changed over time while highlighting elements that remain timeless – such as human ingenuity when it comes to overcoming challenges posed by urbanization. This remarkable piece from Alinari serves as a visual portal connecting us with Rome's rich past – inviting us to imagine ourselves amidst those bustling streets over one hundred years ago.
