EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a British couple, dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion, stand near Morro Velho, a hill in the picturesque town of Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The year is circa 1907, and this couple is part of a large British colony that had settled around the Morro Velho gold mine, operated by the Saint John Del Rey Mining Company. The man wears a double-breasted jacket, complete with a bowler hat, a quintessential symbol of British identity. His white shirt, collar, and cuffs are pristine, and he holds a cane with a decorative handle. The woman, elegantly dressed in a white blouse, full skirt, and gloves, carries a parasol to shield herself from the tropical sun. Her hat, adorned with a wide brim and ribbons, complements her outfit. The Morro Velho gold mine, which began operations in the late 1800s, attracted a significant number of British immigrants seeking fortune and adventure in the New World. The Saint John Del Rey Mining Company, established in 1887, was one of the most prominent mining enterprises in the region. The British colony that formed around the mine thrived, with residents building churches, schools, and social clubs to create a sense of community. This photograph captures a moment in time when the British presence in Brazil was at its peak, and the allure of gold mining continued to draw people from across the Atlantic. The image transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of these intrepid explorers and settlers who left their mark on the rich and diverse history of Brazil.
