EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-141061-0000" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The image showcases a remarkable scene of two majestic draft horses diligently pulling a heavy wagon loaded with barrels and boxes. Their immense strength is evident as they effortlessly navigate the rugged terrain, their muscles glistening under the sun's rays. Taken around 1870, this photograph by Achille Quinet captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with valuable insights into transportation methods of that era. The sheer size and weight of the wagon emphasize the importance of these magnificent creatures in facilitating trade and commerce during those times. As we delve deeper into this image, we can't help but admire the intricate details - from every strand of hair on these terrestrial mammals to each carefully crafted wheelbarrow and barrel. It serves as a testament to both zoology and zootechnics, highlighting our fascination with animals' anatomy while simultaneously acknowledging their vital role in human progress. The composition draws our attention to the vastness of nature surrounding them – an open road stretching far beyond what meets the eye. This setting symbolizes not just physical movement but also represents possibilities, adventures waiting to be embarked upon. Quinet's skillful capture allows us to appreciate how different life was over a century ago – when horse-drawn carts were commonplace sights on bustling streets. Through this photo print, we are reminded of our ancestors' reliance on animal power for transportation before technological advancements transformed society forever. This Alinari print offers us an opportunity for reflection; it invites us to ponder how far we have come while appreciating where it all began – with humble yet extraordinary creatures like these draft horses who played an integral part in shaping history itself.
