Battered Canaria Canaries Canary Elderly Farmer Farmers Gran Palmas Peasant Peasants Scruffy Shabby

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a resilient peasant farmer from Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the 1900s, the image transports us back in time to an era of simple living and hard labor. The man, with an elderly and weathered appearance, is seen wearing a battered and shabby hat, shielding himself from the harsh sun. His face bears the marks of a life spent toiling on the land, with deep lines etched into his face and a thick beard covering his chin. The landscape behind him is arid and rocky, reflecting the challenging terrain that these farmers had to contend with. Despite the difficult conditions, the peasant farmer holds a determined expression, embodying the spirit of perseverance and resilience that was necessary for survival in these times. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by rural communities in the past and the strength and fortitude of those who worked the land. The Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa, have a rich agricultural history, with farming being an essential part of the local economy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the lives of the farmers who played a crucial role in shaping the history of these beautiful islands.
