EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Journey to the North Coast of Madeira: A Glimpse into the Late 19th Century" This evocative black and white lantern slide, part of the Boswell collection (Box 125, Slide 39), transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the stunning North Coast of Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal located in the Atlantic Ocean. The image captures the raw beauty and ruggedness of the landscape, as steep cliffs plunge dramatically towards the restless sea. Madeira, an archipelago of volcanic origin, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. This photograph, taken circa 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, when tourists would embark on voyages to explore the island's natural wonders. The serene atmosphere, punctuated only by the crashing waves against the shore, invites us to imagine the sense of awe and wonder experienced by early visitors. The North Coast of Madeira is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, characterized by towering cliffs, lush greenery, and hidden coves. The steep terrain, which can be seen in this photograph, is a testament to the island's volcanic origins. The Atlantic Ocean, with its ever-changing moods, adds an element of mystery and allure to the scene. This lantern slide, a relic from the past, serves as a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty of Madeira. It invites us to reflect on the experiences of travelers who came before us and to appreciate the enduring allure of this enchanting island destination.
