EDITORS COMMENTS
In a captivating scene captured on Madeira Island, this vintage print transports us back to the late 19th century. Amidst a lush garden, an enchanting lady reclines gracefully on a luxurious litter, carried effortlessly by two young men. The image exudes elegance and opulence, showcasing the epitome of leisure and indulgence during that era. The date of the photograph is estimated to be around 1880-1900, placing it in a time when such grand displays were common among the upper class. The avenue leading through the garden adds an element of structure and architectural beauty to the composition, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Both bearer and person are central figures in this portrait-like depiction. The lady's fashionable attire reflects her status as she enjoys her daytime respite amidst nature's splendor. Meanwhile, the male bearers exhibit strength and poise as they navigate through the garden with their precious cargo. The carefully manicured landscape serves as a picturesque backdrop for this group scene. Lush vegetation surrounds them while towering trees provide shade from the sun's rays. A cane staff leans against one of these trees nearby, hinting at its owner's refined taste. This intriguing photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers glimpses into social dynamics and transportation methods prevalent during that period. It showcases how individuals would travel within gardens or parks using litters instead of more conventional means. Although we do not know who exactly took this remarkable photo or who these individuals were precisely, it remains an exquisite testament to both artistry and history—a visual treasure preserved by Alinari.
