1. Title: "A Coloured Lantern Slide of Naples Harbour: An 1890s View from the Arsenal" This coloured lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of Naples Harbour, captured from the Arsenal during the late 19th century. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 214, Italy Coloured, is slide number 26, and dates back to approximately the 1890s. Naples, the vibrant and historic city in southern Italy, is renowned for its rich culture, stunning architecture, and picturesque waterfront. In this photograph, the harbour is bustling with activity, with ships of various sizes and shapes anchored in the bay. The vibrant colours of the boats and the clear, turquoise waters create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the rugged, volcanic coastline. The Arsenal, located on the western side of the harbour, was a significant military installation during the 16th to 18th centuries. It housed the Royal Navy and was a hub of naval activity. The view from the Arsenal offers a unique perspective of the harbour, providing a glimpse into the bustling commercial and military hub of Naples during the late 1800s. This lantern slide is an invaluable historical record of Naples Harbour during a time when travel was more challenging, and capturing such images required significant effort. The intricate details of the boats, the bustling activity, and the vibrant colours of the scene are preserved in this beautiful coloured lantern slide, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich history of Naples and Italy.
