EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, transports us back in time to the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal, where traditional costumes were an integral part of daily life. The image features a grey-haired (and bearded) guitarist, dressed in a distinctive pointed carapuca hat, a white outfit consisting of a shirt, bloomers, and yellow boots. His youthful partner, also a musician, dons a full striped skirt, a laced bodice over a white blouse, adding vibrant colors to the scene. The guitarist's carapuca hat, a traditional headgear from Madeira, is a symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage. The white outfit, with its practical bloomers and colorful yellow boots, reflects the island's tropical climate and the need for comfortable attire. His younger partner, with her full striped skirt and laced bodice, embodies the feminine elegance and grace of Madeiran women during this era. The intricately designed skirt, made of multiple layers of fabric, and the laced bodice, accentuating her waist, are typical elements of the traditional Madeiran costume. The image captures a moment of musical harmony and cultural authenticity, as the two musicians engage in a shared passion for music. This photograph is a testament to the enduring history and traditions of Madeira, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the essence of a bygone era.
