EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Gibraltar from Alqecivas,' offers a glimpse into the late 19th century view of the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar as seen from the Spanish side of the straits. The image, estimated to date back to the 1890s, captures the small port of Gibraltar nestled in the middle of the straits, with the iconic Rock of Gibraltar looming in the background. The lantern slide, which was likely used for projection during presentations or lectures, showcases the strategic location of the British territory, surrounded by the vast expanse of water. The photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, revealing the rich history and complex relationship between Spain and Britain over Gibraltar. The image also highlights the unique character of the port, with ships anchored in the harbor and the bustling activity of the area. The intricate details of the boats, the Rock, and the surrounding landscape are beautifully preserved in this timeless photograph, making it a valuable historical record and a captivating work of art.
