EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the breathtaking view of Porto Santo Island from a ship during a visit to Madeira in the late 1890s. Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 43 kilometres (27 mi) northeast of Madeira Island, Porto Santo is the northernmost and easternmost island of the Madeira archipelago. The island is a Portuguese territory, with a rich history deeply rooted in the maritime traditions of Portugal. The image shows the pristine beauty of Porto Santo, with its sandy beaches and tranquil waters, as seen from the deck of a ship. The island's rugged coastline and undulating terrain are accentuated by the play of light and shadow, creating a sense of mystery and allure. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out beyond the island, its vast expanse adding to the sense of isolation and wonder. The late 19th century was a time of exploration and discovery, and this lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and the natural world held a sense of magic and mystery. The image invites us to imagine the experiences of those early travelers, as they sailed across the ocean to discover new lands and cultures.
