EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1930s showcases the picturesque country of Portugal in all its glory. Taken by artist EA Waymark, it captures a unique aspect of Portuguese transportation and trade during that time. The image features flat-bottomed boats, specially designed to navigate through treacherous reefs and rapids along the Douro River, carrying precious cargoes of the renowned wine from the valley down to Oporto. The boats are truly intriguing with their distinctively enormous rudders, perfectly suited for maneuvering through challenging waters. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when water transport played a vital role in local industry and economy. Against a backdrop of rolling hills and breathtaking countryside scenery, this photograph beautifully encapsulates Portugal's rich geography. The vibrant colors add depth to the image, highlighting both the natural beauty surrounding these riverbanks as well as showcasing the importance of wine-making in this region. It serves as a testament to Portugal's long-standing tradition of producing exceptional wines. Preserved within this historical print is not just an exquisite landscape but also a piece of Portuguese heritage. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by EA Waymark nearly a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how it immortalizes an important chapter in Portugal's history while celebrating its stunning landscapes and cultural significance.
