EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting landscape of Madeira, Portugal in 1895. The Grand Curral, a natural geographical feature surrounded by majestic mountains known as Curral das Freiras, serves as the backdrop for this intriguing scene. In the foreground, we witness a peculiar mode of transportation: a traveller being carried in what appears to be a hammock-like litter. The unknown creator of this photograph skillfully captures both the rugged beauty of the mountainous terrain and the unique cultural practices of that time. The monochrome tones add an air of mystery and nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to an era long gone. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about the journey that brought this traveller here. What stories lie behind those weathered faces? What adventures await beyond those distant clouds? Published by George Newnes Ltd in London as part of their renowned series "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" this print is not just a piece of history but also a testament to human curiosity and exploration. It reminds us that even amidst breathtaking landscapes like these, it is ultimately people who shape our understanding and appreciation for our world. Let this remarkable photo transport you back to an era when travel was more arduous yet filled with endless possibilities; let it inspire your own wanderlust and ignite your imagination.
