Atlantic Horseback Madeira Portugal Portuguese Slides Slopes Steep Travelling
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the breathtaking beauty and rugged terrain of Madeira Island in the late 1890s. The image, part of the Boswell collection (Box 125, Slide 41), depicts a narrow road precariously cut into the steep slopes along the Atlantic coast of St. Vicente. A group of intrepid travelers, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century, make their way along the winding path on horseback. Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean, has long been renowned for its stunning landscapes and unique character. The island's volcanic origins are evident in the dramatic cliffs and rugged terrain, which provide a challenging yet awe-inspiring backdrop for travel. The road in this photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the island's inhabitants, who have carved out a living in this remote and rugged landscape. The horses and riders, with their determined expressions and steady gaits, convey a sense of adventure and exploration that is both captivating and timeless. The lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was more challenging and the natural world held a greater allure. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a journey through this beautiful and historic Portuguese island.
