EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a breathtaking panorama of Grand Canary's vibrant and historic city of Las Palmas, taken in the late 1890s. The Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa and under Spanish rule since the late 15th century, have long been a popular destination for travelers seeking sun, sand, and adventure. In this image, the bustling harbor of Las Palmas is filled with ships from various nations, reflecting the island's importance as a vital trading post. The colorful houses and buildings cling to the steep hillsides, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of the azure sea and sky. The lush vegetation and palm trees add to the tropical allure of this enchanting place. Las Palmas, the largest city in the Canary Islands, has a rich history that dates back to the early settlement by the Spanish. The city's name derives from the Latin "Palma," meaning palm tree, and the Spanish "Las," meaning "the," reflecting the abundance of palm trees on the island. Over the centuries, Las Palmas has undergone many transformations, from a small fishing village to a thriving metropolis, and remains a popular tourist destination today. This lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the late 1800s and the unique charm of Grand Canary and Las Palmas. The intricate details and vivid colors captured in this image make it a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art.
