EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores during the early 1900s. The scene portrays a group of local residents, dressed in traditional attire, gathered around a typical rural house. The thatched-roof dwelling, with its straw exterior and rustic charm, is a testament to the simple yet resilient way of life that once thrived on this beautiful island in the Atlantic Ocean. The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal, is a collection of nine volcanic islands located in the mid-Atlantic. Sao Miguel, the largest and most populous of the islands, has long been known for its fertile land and thriving agriculture. The inhabitants of Sao Miguel were primarily farmers, relying on the rich volcanic soil to grow crops such as corn, potatoes, and wheat. The people in the photograph appear to be taking a break from their daily tasks to pose for the camera, offering a glimpse into the close-knit community that once existed on the island. Their warm smiles and welcoming demeanor reflect the hospitality and generosity that is still a hallmark of the Azores today. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the isolation that once defined life on Sao Miguel. The islands' remote location in the Atlantic Ocean made for a challenging existence, but the resilient spirit of the people and the beauty of their surroundings made it all worthwhile. Today, visitors to Sao Miguel can still experience the unique culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality that are so vividly captured in this photograph from the past.
