EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of youth and tradition in the historic city of Coimbra, Portugal. Taken during the late Victorian or early Edwardian era, the image showcases a group of local girls dressed in their finest attire, gathered around a lantern in the dimly lit streets of the ancient university town. Coimbra, located in central Portugal, is renowned for its rich history and academic heritage. Established in 1290, the University of Coimbra is one of Europe's oldest universities, attracting students from all corners of the continent. The girls in the photograph may well have been students themselves, or perhaps they were simply out for an evening stroll in the picturesque streets of their beloved city. The vintage aesthetic of the photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Coimbra during a bygone era. The girls' elegant dresses, with their high collars and long sleeves, are reminiscent of the fashionable attire of the time, while the lantern adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a treasure trove of historical images that provide a unique insight into the lives of people from around the world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph of the Coimbra girls is a beautiful reminder of the enduring charm and allure of Portugal's historic university town.
