EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the early 1920s transports us back in time to the enchanting streets of Funchal, Madeira Islands. The image showcases a unique mode of transportation that was prevalent during that era - an ox team pulling a sledge. In this bustling street scene, we witness the daily life of locals as they navigate through the charming city. The sepia-toned print captures the essence of simplicity and authenticity, highlighting how these majestic animals were an integral part of everyday life on the island. The oxen's strength is evident as they effortlessly pull their carriage along the cobblestone streets, creating a harmonious blend between nature and human existence. As we gaze at this stereograph, we are transported into a world where horse-drawn carriages are replaced by these humble yet powerful creatures. It serves as a reminder of how different times were in terms of transportation methods and emphasizes the resourcefulness and adaptability of people living in Funchal. This photograph is not just an exquisite piece capturing history; it also offers us a glimpse into another era when simplicity reigned supreme. Through its lens, we can appreciate both the beauty of Madeira's landscape and its people who relied on traditional means to traverse their beloved city.
