Captivity Nineteen Tens Alfieri Europeana
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Alfieri on 13 January 1928, transports us back to the early twentieth century at the zoo. The image showcases an intriguing encounter with a magnificent creature - a Boa or a python. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are instantly drawn into the world of captivity and wonder that existed in European zoos during this era. The photographer's skillful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic effect, emphasizing the intricate patterns on the snake's skin. Its powerful coils seem to effortlessly command attention as it gracefully maneuvers within its enclosure. The contrasting tones add depth to the composition, allowing our eyes to explore every detail captured in this moment frozen in time. As we reflect on this photograph, we are reminded of how Europeana Photography preserves history through visual storytelling. This particular piece from the 1920s not only documents an extraordinary animal but also serves as a window into society's fascination with exotic creatures during that period. Alfieri's work continues to captivate viewers even after all these years. It reminds us of humanity's enduring curiosity about nature and our desire to understand and appreciate all forms of life that share our planet.
