EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the stunning beauty and rich history of Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal during the late 1890s. The photograph focuses on the imposing Pico Fort, a military fortification built in a breathtaking valley surrounded by the mountainous terrain of this Atlantic island. The fort, with its distinctive dark silhouette, stands proudly amidst the smaller, white buildings that surround it, hinting at the blend of military might and civilian life that once existed in this region. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. The island's unique location, nestled in the Atlantic Ocean, has endowed it with a diverse and vibrant ecosystem, making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The fort, built to protect the island from potential invaders, is a testament to the island's rich history and the strategic importance it held during the late 19th century. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Funchal during this period, as we marvel at the rugged terrain and the fortress that stands guard over this enchanting island paradise.
