EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a breathtaking view down the River Duro, which flows along the border between Spain and Portugal. The river, once personified as the god Durius by the Romans, has a rich history that predates their arrival. The Celtic tribes who inhabited the area before Roman times are believed to have given the river its name, derived from the Celtic root *dubro- meaning 'water.' The image showcases the river's serene beauty as it winds through a landscape of scrubland, dotted with tall, gnarled trees and shrubs. On the left bank of the river, a tall chimney rises against the sky, a testament to the industrial history of the region. The terraced hillside on the right, covered in greenery, offers a glimpse into the agricultural traditions that have long shaped the area. In the background, rolling hills stretch out, their peaks bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, a vast archive of images documenting the people, places, and cultures of Portugal and Spain. The collection, which dates back to around 1900, offers a unique window into the history and heritage of these two fascinating countries. The name Durius, with its Celtic and Roman roots, serves as a reminder of the complex and layered history of this region, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
