Waiting at the Ferry, Paraguay, 1911 - A Glimpse into South American Transportation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time - the year is 1911, and we find ourselves on the banks of Paraguay's tranquil waters. The scene depicts a bustling ferry station where people and animals eagerly await their turn to cross the river. In this snapshot of early 20th-century travel, horses hitched to wagons stand patiently as passengers mill about, their anticipation palpable. The air is filled with an aura of adventure as travelers prepare to embark on their journey across the water. The photograph showcases not only human activity but also highlights the integral role that animals played in transportation during this era. Horses were relied upon for pulling wagons laden with goods or carrying weary travelers from one side of Paraguay to another. As we observe this slice of history through monochrome lenses, it becomes apparent that waiting at the ferry was more than just a means to an end; it was a communal experience shared by both locals and visitors alike. It symbolizes connection - between people, animals, land, and water - bridging gaps both physical and metaphorical. This print serves as a testament to our collective fascination with exploration and discovery. It reminds us that even in an age defined by technological advancements, there is still something enchanting about witnessing humanity's timeless desire to traverse new frontiers.
