EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-F-001553-0000" by Magelli, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a full-length portrait of a young woman exuding elegance and grace as she stands wrapped in a luxurious fur stole. Her regal posture and confident gaze suggest an air of sophistication that was characteristic of the era. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the young woman's attire, particularly her exquisite fur stole. Its softness and opulence are beautifully captured, adding an element of glamour to the overall composition. It serves as both a functional accessory for warmth during chilly evenings and a fashion statement symbolizing wealth and status. As our eyes wander beyond the subject, we notice an elaborately worked carpet adorning the floor beneath her feet. Its intricate patterns reflect meticulous craftsmanship, hinting at its significance within applied arts and crafts. This tapestry-like carpet not only complements the grandeur of the scene but also adds depth to it. Taken on January 1st, 1901, this photograph encapsulates a moment frozen in time - an era when fashion played an essential role in defining one's social standing. Through Magelli's lens, we catch a glimpse into history while appreciating artistry through various mediums such as clothing design, textiles, and photography itself. This remarkable piece from Alinari invites us to contemplate not only beauty but also societal values associated with femininity, luxury, and artistic expression during that period. It reminds us how visual artifacts can transcend their mere existence as objects by evoking emotions and sparking curiosity about past cultures – all through one captivating image captured over a century ago.
