EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of the Tobacco Factory E Fuentes in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands during the 1900s. The large, imposing building, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and corner location, dominates the scene. The factory was a significant part of the local industry and manufacture, contributing to the economic prosperity of the region. The image is filled with a sense of movement and energy, as people go about their work in the factory. Horses and carriages are parked outside, suggesting that the factory was also a hub of transportation activity. A horse-drawn surrey passes by on the street, adding to the sense of hustle and bustle. Despite the industry and activity, there is a sense of order and organization in the scene. The people in the photograph are dressed in work clothes, indicating their roles in the tobacco manufacturing process. The factory's large windows allow natural light to flood in, creating a well-lit workspace. The Tobacco Factory E Fuentes was an essential part of the community in Las Palmas during the 1900s. It represented the hard work and determination of the people of Gran Canaria, who made their living from the land and the sea. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of the Canary Islands.
