EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Water-bearer, Capri, Italy, 1927" captures the essence of Italian culture and tradition in the early 20th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Eugen Poppel, who skillfully portrays a female water-bearer in her traditional costume. The image transports us to the picturesque island of Capri in Campania, where women like her played an essential role in their community by carrying water on their heads. With grace and strength, she balances a barrel filled with precious water as she navigates through the charming streets of Capri. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - a beautifully crafted dress that showcases intricate details specific to her occupation. This portrait not only highlights her profession but also symbolizes resilience and hard work. Poppel's monochrome composition adds depth to this timeless scene while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. Through his lens, he immortalizes a moment frozen in time - capturing both the physical labor involved and the quiet determination etched on her face. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Italien in Bildern by Eugen Poppel (August Scherl, Berlin), we are reminded of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its people's unwavering dedication to their craft. This photograph serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and connect us with our past.
