EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the timeless beauty of The Monte Church in Funchal, Madeira Island, circa 1890s. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the vibrant capital city of Funchal, the present-day Monte Church dates back to 1818. Its rich history begins with the construction of an original chapel on this very spot, built by the first two children to be born on the island. The Monte Church, a cherished landmark of Madeira, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof contrasting sharply against the lush green landscape. The late 19th century image showcases the church's simple yet elegant architecture, with its arched windows and bell tower reaching towards the clear blue sky. As a popular destination for travelers during the late 1800s, Madeira Island attracted visitors from all corners of the world. This lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The Monte Church, with its historical significance and breathtaking views, remains an enduring symbol of Portugal's Madeira Islands, inviting visitors to experience its unique charm and beauty.
