Sebastião Salgado. Workers. Art Edition No. 1–100 ‘Fishermen, Trapani, Italy, 1991’ (English) (AP)

Sebastião Salgado’s photographs present an archaeological perspective on manual labour, shedding light on practices which endured from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution and up to the present day. He created an elegy to outmoded traditions and the dignity and fortitude of those working in the face of the most dangerous conditions.

Art Edition (No. 1–100), with the gelatin silver print Fishermen, Trapani, Sicily, Italy, 1991, each signed by Sebastião Salgado.
