EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Naples, Italy in the late 19th century. Captured by renowned German photographer Giorgio Sommer, this street scene offers a glimpse into the rich history and social conditions of the time. The image transports us to a world where life unfolds amidst narrow alleyways lined with houses. The poverty-stricken slums are evident as we see people going about their daily routines. Some are engaged in washing clothes, while others hang them out to dry on makeshift lines between buildings. Sommer's keen eye for detail allows us to observe not only the physical surroundings but also captures the essence of street life during this era. The worn-out facades of buildings tell stories of struggle and resilience, while groups of individuals huddled together reveal a sense of community amidst adversity. As we delve into this archival treasure, it becomes apparent that photography serves as an invaluable tool for documenting historical moments and shedding light on societal issues. This particular photograph reminds us of the importance of housing conditions and how they can reflect broader social inequalities. A testament to Sommer's skillful artistry, this print invites us to explore Naples' past through its streets, offering a poignant reminder that even within challenging circumstances, human spirit endures.
