EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken around 1890, we are transported to the charming streets of Anacapri on the picturesque Isle of Capri. The focal point of the image is a little girl with an unexpected accessory adorning her head - a pot. With innocence in her eyes and curiosity etched across her face, she stands amidst the backdrop of traditional houses and architectural wonders. Anacapri's unique housing structures provide a glimpse into its rich history and cultural heritage. The village exudes an old-world charm that is beautifully captured in this timeless print by J. W. Holcombe from Alinari. As our gaze wanders beyond the little girl, we notice the winding road leading us deeper into this enchanting landscape. The presence of prickly pear succulents adds a touch of natural beauty to the scene, contrasting against the man-made elements surrounding them. These resilient plants symbolize strength and endurance, much like the spirit embodied by both Anacapri itself and its inhabitants. Amidst it all, an amphora can be seen resting against one of the buildings—a relic from ancient times that serves as a reminder of Capri's storied past. This portrait captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as childhood innocence, exploration, tradition, and coexistence between nature and human creations. Holcombe's skillful composition transports us back to an era long gone while simultaneously reminding us that some things remain unchanged—the wonderment found within every child's heart when faced with something as simple yet extraordinary as wearing a pot on their head.
