This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the tranquil beauty of the Bay of Biscay in the evening during a visit to Madeira in the late 1890s. The Bay of Biscay is a historic gulf of the northeast Atlantic Ocean, stretching from the western coast of France to the northern coast of Spain. Named after the Spanish Basque province of Biscay, it lies along the southwestern edge of France, from Brest to the Spanish border, and extends westward to Cape Ortegal in Spain. During this era, the Bay of Biscay was a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and discovery. The image showcases the serene waters of the bay, dotted with small boats, as the sun sets over the horizon. The sky is ablaze with orange and pink hues, casting a warm glow over the scene. The Bay of Biscay holds significant historical importance, as it was a major shipping route during the Age of Discovery. Its strategic location made it a crucial link between Europe and the New World, with many explorers setting sail from its shores in search of new lands and riches. This lantern slide is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure, and the natural world held endless wonders. The image invites us to imagine the stories of those who sailed these waters, and the discoveries they made along the way.
