EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on the 14th of July in 1918, we are transported back to a momentous scene from the film "Nelson". On board The Victory at Portsmouth, actor Donald Calthrop assumes the role of Admiral Nelson with utmost conviction. The monochrome image exudes an air of nostalgia as it captures a snapshot from the early days of silent cinema. The deck of the ship serves as a stage for this remarkable reenactment, where actors donned their period costumes to bring history to life. As we gaze upon this historic print by Alfieri, we can almost hear the silence that accompanied these scenes being filmed. It is fascinating to imagine how these talented individuals used their expressions and gestures alone to convey emotions and tell stories. This photograph not only showcases Calthrop's dedication and talent but also offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich cinematic heritage in the early 20th century. It reminds us of an era when films were still finding their voice but managed to captivate audiences through visual storytelling. Alfieri's lens has preserved this precious moment in time for us to appreciate decades later. As we study every detail within this frame, it becomes clear that even without color or sound, artistry knows no bounds - allowing us to connect with history and immerse ourselves in its magic once more.
