EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Lisbon's historic Praça do Comércio and the iconic Rua Augusta Arch in 1989. The scene unfolds as a hunched old man, bundled up against the cold winter air in his overcoat and cloth cap, walks past vintage trams, adding a sense of timelessness and nostalgia to the image. The Rua Augusta Arch, a triumphal archway built to commemorate the restoration of Portugal's independence, towers above the bustling street scene. The monochrome palette heightens the sense of history and tradition, as the old man's arms are raised slightly, perhaps in a gesture of triumph or simply to keep warm. The trams, a beloved mode of transportation in Lisbon, add a sense of movement and energy to the otherwise still image. This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring charm of Lisbon's historic center.
