EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Public scribe in Naples, c. 1890" transports us back to a time when literacy was a privilege not everyone possessed. The image showcases the invaluable service provided by this public scribe, who sits at his desk surrounded by an eager group of peasants seeking assistance with their correspondence. The scene is set against the breathtaking backdrop of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius looming in the distance. The scribe's bearded expression exudes wisdom and expertise as he listens attentively to each individual's dictation. His skills bridge the gap between those who are literate and those who are not, offering a lifeline for communication in an era marked by widespread illiteracy. Intriguingly, amidst the predominantly female crowd seeking his aid, we spot a man wearing a top hat—a symbol of higher social class—highlighting how education transcends societal boundaries. The costumes worn by both the scribe and his clients reflect traditional Neapolitan attire, adding cultural depth to this snapshot of Italian life during that period. It serves as a reminder that education was not easily accessible for all Italians at that time. Fratelli Alinari masterfully captures this moment through photography, immortalizing the important role played by public scribes like this one in facilitating communication within communities across Europe. This glass plate print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating human connection and our relentless pursuit of knowledge.
