EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by the talented photographer Folco Quilici, we are transported back in time to 1983 Egypt. The image showcases a sailor diligently fixing the sail on the mainmast of a traditional Egyptian felucca, immersing us in the rich maritime heritage of this ancient land. The sailor's weathered hands expertly maneuver ropes as he skillfully tends to the sail, his focused expression revealing years of experience and dedication to his craft. Against the backdrop of a cloudless sky, one can almost feel the gentle breeze that propels this majestic vessel forward through calm waters. The felucca itself stands tall and proud, its wooden frame adorned with intricate carvings that speak volumes about Egypt's cultural history. Its elegant lines gracefully cut through the water, leaving ripples in its wake as it glides effortlessly towards unknown horizons. Quilici's choice to present this scene in monochrome adds an air of timeless nostalgia to the photograph. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects but also invites contemplation on our connection with nature and tradition. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we cannot help but be reminded of humanity's enduring relationship with both sea and wind; how these elements have guided explorers throughout history and shaped civilizations along their shores. This single snapshot encapsulates centuries' worth of seafaring knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Whether you are an avid sailor or simply an admirer of human ingenuity, Quilici's evocative composition transports you into a world where time slows down – where every creaking rope whispers tales untold.
