EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the breathtaking view of the Bridge of Thunder in Gibraltar, connecting Spain and Portugal. The bridge, a marvel of engineering, is named for the thunderous sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below. In this image, we see the arch of the bridge, with its intricate stonework and ornate lantern, providing a frame for the stunning landscape beyond. The view through the arch reveals a picturesque scene of the rocky shoreline, dotted with trees clinging precariously to the cliffs. The natural beauty of the area is on full display, with the vibrant green foliage contrasting against the rugged, gray rocks and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, a treasure trove of historical images that capture the essence of Portugal and Spain during the early 20th century. The image invites us to imagine the experiences of travelers who crossed this bridge, taking in the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the Strait of Gibraltar. The Bridge of Thunder stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural connections between Spain and Portugal, two countries bound by their shared heritage and geography. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment of wonder and discovery.
