EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the picturesque scene of the Valley of Santa Anna in Madeira, Portugal, during the late 1890s. The small, quaint cottages, nestled among the rolling hills, are scattered throughout the landscape, creating a charming and idyllic setting. The lush greenery of the trees provides a striking contrast against the dark backdrop of the image, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal located in the Atlantic Ocean, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and unique microclimate. The island's rich volcanic soil and mild climate have made it an ideal destination for agriculture, particularly the production of Madeira wine, which has been a staple of Portuguese culture for centuries. The Valley of Santa Anna, located in the eastern part of the island, is one of the most beautiful and historic areas of Madeira. The small, traditional cottages, or quintas, are a testament to the island's rich history and cultural heritage. The region's rugged terrain and steep slopes have made it a challenging place to live, but the resilient people of Madeira have adapted to the conditions, creating a unique and fascinating way of life. This lantern slide, part of the Boswell collection, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the daily life of Madeira during the late 1800s. The image invites us to imagine the sounds of birds singing in the trees, the scent of the ocean in the air, and the warmth of the sun on our faces as we explore the Valley of Santa Anna and the beautiful island of Madeira.
