EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Attalea Palm-tree on the Madeira; Indian-Rubber Groves of the Amazons' was published in 'Illustrated Travels' by Henry Walter Bates in the late 1870s. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the lush and exotic landscapes of South America during the 19th century. The photograph features an Attalea palm tree, also known as the Jatoba palm or the Brazil nut palm, growing amidst the verdant foliage of the Amazon rainforest. The tree's distinctive fan-shaped leaves and tall, sturdy trunk are clearly visible against the backdrop of the dense forest. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen working in the Indian-rubber groves, likely tapping the sap of the rubber trees to produce the valuable natural resource. The photograph also showcases the unique architectural elements of the region, with a pergola or arbor providing shade to the workers. The intricate structure, with its ornate columns and latticework, adds a touch of elegance to the otherwise raw and untamed natural beauty of the Amazon. The image is a testament to the rich cultural and natural heritage of South America during the Victorian era, as documented by British travel writer Henry Walter Bates in his 'Illustrated Travels'. The photograph, published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin, provides a fascinating window into the past, transporting us to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human curiosity.
