EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a man dressed in a traditional Portuguese black beret confidently strides through the narrow, cobblestone street of Aveiro, Portugal. The year is 1989, and the atmosphere is one of quiet introspection as the man passes by the picturesque docks and warehouses that line the waterfront. The scene is reminiscent of the 1980s, a decade marked by cultural and political shifts, and this image captures the essence of a bygone era. The man's attire is simple yet distinctive, with the black beret, a traditional symbol of the region, sitting atop his head. The beret, known as a "boina" in Portuguese, has long been a part of the cultural identity of the people of Aveiro, who have been wearing it for centuries. The man's outfit is completed with a dark jacket, a white shirt, and trousers, making him blend seamlessly into the surroundings. The docks and warehouses, with their rusted metal structures and graffiti-covered walls, add a sense of history and character to the scene. The waterfront, dotted with boats and fishing nets, is a testament to Aveiro's rich maritime heritage. The man's journey through this street, with its unique architecture and industrial charm, is a visual representation of the interplay between the old and the new in this Portuguese town. The photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of Aveiro and its people, offering a glimpse into their daily lives and the unique charm of this Portuguese town. The image, first published in The Sunday Times in 1989, remains a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring allure of Aveiro.
