EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Naples in the late 19th century. The image captures a remarkable scene, showcasing a public scribe diligently engrossed in his work. With an air of importance, he sits behind a wooden table adorned with various writing instruments, signifying his role as the communicator for those who cannot write. The scribe himself is dressed impeccably, reflecting the fashion and clothing trends of that era. His top hat adds an element of sophistication to his appearance while also hinting at his professional status. A kerchief peeks out from his pocket, perhaps symbolizing attention to detail or personal style. Surrounded by onlookers and passersby, this portrait reveals how integral the public scribe was to society during this time period. Whether it be civilians seeking assistance with official documents or military personnel requiring written correspondence, this individual played a vital role in facilitating communication within Naples. The photograph's composition beautifully captures both the subject and their surroundings. The detailed backdrop showcases elements of traditional architecture found in Naples during that era – buildings with ornate facades stand tall behind our protagonist. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time by Alinari. it, we are transported into an era where handwritten letters were cherished forms of connection and communication was entrusted to skilled professionals like this public scribe. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically but also prompts us to appreciate the artistry involved in preserving history through photography.
