EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting island of Malta during the mid-19th century. The image showcases a magnificent Maltese carriage, an iconic symbol of transportation and elegance in this Mediterranean paradise. The horse-drawn carriage stands proudly amidst a rugged rocky landscape, highlighting both the natural beauty of Malta's terrain and the ingenuity of human craftsmanship. The sturdy wheels and intricate details on the carriage reflect the dedication and skill put into its creation. As we delve deeper into this scene, we are reminded of how vital horses were as terrestrial mammals for transportation in those days. They served as loyal companions, effortlessly navigating through challenging landscapes while carrying passengers with grace and poise. Giorgio Sommer's expert photography captures every aspect with precision – from the majestic horse at the forefront to the distant horizon that beckons further exploration. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when carriages were not just means of transport but also works of art, showcasing zoology and zootechnics at their finest. The composition invites us to imagine ourselves embarking on a journey along dusty roads or winding coastal paths aboard this splendid vehicle. We can almost hear the rhythmic clatter of hooves against cobblestones as we traverse picturesque villages or venture towards hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Sommer's photograph is more than just an object frozen in time; it serves as a window into an era where travel was slower yet imbued with charm and sophistication. It reminds us that even today, amidst modern modes of transportation, there is still something magical about experiencing landscapes by land – embracing our surroundings one wheel rotation at a time.
