Ceuta from Signal Station: A Black and White View from High inland Over Buildings Towards Lakes, Circa 1890s This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and historical significance of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the North African coast, as seen from the signal station in the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past through the lens of a lantern slide. Located on the northern tip of the African continent, Ceuta has been a point of contention between Spain and Morocco for centuries. In the late 19th century, it was a British protectorate under the suzerainty of Spain, a status that lasted until 1956. This photograph, taken from a high vantage point inland, looks out over the rooftops of the town towards the lakes that lie beyond. The buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, are bathed in the soft, even light of the lantern slide, creating a sense of tranquility and calm. The presence of the signal station adds a military air to the scene. Gibraltar, another British overseas territory, can be seen in the distance, a testament to the strategic importance of the region during this period. The photograph captures the essence of a time when Europe's empires stretched across the globe, and Ceuta was a vital outpost of the Spanish-British connection. This photograph is a rare and beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Ceuta and the wider region. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the complex and enduring relationships between Spain, Morocco, and the United Kingdom that continue to shape the world today.
