EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white Victorian lantern slide, number 50 of Box 106, titled 'Sicily - Mount Stephen,' transports us back in time to the late 1890s on the beautiful Italian island of Sicily. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection as a man takes a seat on a weathered rock, seemingly amidst the ruins of a quarry site. The rugged terrain, dotted with boulders and scrubby vegetation, is a stark contrast to the man's formal attire, complete with a top hat and long coat. The quarry, with its jagged cliffs and deep, shadowy recesses, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, has a rich and complex history, with influences from ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, and Phoenicians, as well as more recent occupations by the Arabs, Normans, and Spanish. The quarry site in this image could be a reminder of the island's long history of mining and resource extraction, which played a significant role in its economic development. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but wonder about the man's story. Why is he here, alone, in this remote location? What thoughts are racing through his mind as he sits, lost in thought, surrounded by the raw beauty of the Sicilian landscape? The answer may be lost to history, but the image remains a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring allure of Sicily.
