EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Winter Views" we are transported back to the former colonial city of Shanghai in 1969. The image, captured by renowned photographer Quilici Folco and preserved by Alinari, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the architectural beauty and urban landscape of that era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately struck by the rows of houses that stretch out before us. Each structure stands as a testament to the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that once defined Shanghai's skyline. The intricate details adorning these buildings speak volumes about their historical significance and cultural heritage. Despite being taken during winter, there is an undeniable warmth emanating from this photograph. Perhaps it is the soft glow cast upon each building or the sense of community conveyed through tightly knit neighborhoods. Whatever it may be, one cannot help but feel a connection to those who called these houses home. The view offered here extends far beyond mere architecture; it provides us with a window into life within this bustling metropolis half a century ago. It invites contemplation on how much has changed since then while also reminding us of the enduring spirit that continues to shape modern-day Shanghai. This photograph serves as both a visual time capsule and an homage to an ever-evolving cityscape. It reminds us of Shanghai's rich history while simultaneously igniting curiosity about its future trajectory. Through Quilici Folco's lens, we witness not just structures but stories – tales woven together by generations past and present. "Winter Views" transports us across continents and decades, urging us to reflect on our own place within this vast tapestry called humanity.
