Carnival Costumes Crowds Humour Street Alfieri Figure Heads
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Hastings carnival on 1st September 1937. Alfieri, a skilled photographer of the time, beautifully captures this moment in history with his monochrome lens. The image transports us to a bygone era, where crowds of men and figures eagerly gather along the streets, adorned in their elaborate costumes. The photograph exudes an undeniable sense of joy and humor as we witness these individuals fully embracing the spirit of celebration. Each figurehead seems to come alive through Alfieri's lens, showcasing their unique personalities and adding an element of whimsy to the scene. As we delve into this piece from Europeana Photography collection, we are reminded not only of the cultural significance that carnivals held during this period but also how they served as a form of escapism for people amidst challenging times. The 1930s were marked by economic hardships and political tensions across Europe; however, moments like these offered temporary respite from reality. Alfieri's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic event while appreciating his artistic eye for capturing both individual expressions and collective excitement. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even in times of uncertainty, communities can come together to create moments filled with laughter and merriment.
