EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Alfieri in 1922, we are transported back to a time when ice was harvested and preserved manually. The image showcases the industriousness of young women at Cady Hall as they diligently pack ice bricks for dispatch. The scene is filled with a sense of purpose, as the girls work together on a conveyor belt system that transports the freshly made ice bricks towards them. They wear hats and headwear, which were likely necessary to protect themselves from the cold environment. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to the picture, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how technology has evolved over time, rendering such labor-intensive processes obsolete. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights the importance of teamwork and dedication in accomplishing tasks efficiently. It offers us a glimpse into an era where manual labor played an essential role in everyday life. Alfieri's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the physical effort exerted by these young women and their commitment to their work. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how far society has progressed since then while cherishing our connection to our past through images like these.
