EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Alqesivas,' transports us back in time to the late 1890s, offering a mesmerizing view of the quaint Andalusian town nestled in the heart of the Spanish territory of Gibraltar. The image, which dates back to the British colonial era, showcases the unique architectural charm of Alqesivas, with its low, terracotta-roofed houses huddled together in a picturesque scene. The photograph's composition is further enhanced by the striking contrast between the dark, moody sky and the whitewashed walls of the buildings below. The photograph's focal point is the imposing spire of the town's church, which rises majestically against the backdrop of the somber sky. The lantern-lit windows of the church gleam in the dim light, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The overall effect is one of tranquility and timelessness, as if the viewer has been granted a rare glimpse into a bygone era. The photograph's provenance is that of a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image's age and rarity make it a precious addition to any collection of historical photographs, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Gibraltar during the British colonial period.
