EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured slide depicts the breathtaking view of the Bridge and Gateway of Cordoba, a historical landmark straddling the Guadalquivir River that once served as the border between Spain and Portugal. The image, taken circa 1900, captures the essence of a bygone era with its warm, muted tones and intricate details. In the foreground, a young boy can be seen sitting on the riverbank, intently watching the steady flow of water beneath the bridge. The bridge itself, a marvel of engineering, is a sight to behold. Its arches gracefully span the river, connecting the two countries and symbolizing the rich cultural exchange that has taken place between Spain and Portugal for centuries. The Gateway of Cordoba, also known as the Porta de la Victoria, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that stands proudly at the Spanish end of the bridge. Its intricate stonework, adorned with Arabic and Christian motifs, reflects the diverse history of the region. This image is part of the Boswell collection, a treasure trove of historical photographs that offer a unique glimpse into the past. The slide's age and vibrant colours serve as a reminder of the enduring allure of this iconic landmark and the rich history that surrounds it.
