EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional Madeiran life in Portugal, circa 1908. The woman in the image wears a stunningly intricate and authentic costume, consisting of a full, laced skirt, a corseted jerkin, and a striking Carapuca hat or cap. The Carapuca, a pointed hat with a distinctive striped design, is a symbol of Madeiran heritage and has been worn by women on the island for centuries. The woman holds a rather deceased fowl, possibly a hen, in one hand, and a long, sturdy staff or stick in the other. The reason for the chicken's demise and the connection between the woman and the stick remain a mystery. It is possible that the chicken was a freshly harvested meal or that the two collided prior to the photoshoot. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and customs of Madeiran women during this time. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to thrive on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira.
