EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, transports us back in time to the late 1890s in Naples, Italy. The image showcases the breathtaking view of the city from Elmo, a hill and fortress that overlooks the entirety of Naples. In the foreground, the vibrant marina comes to life with the hustle and bustle of boats and ships, their sails billowing in the wind. Elmo, a historic site with a rich history, has stood guard over Naples since the 15th century. Its strategic position on the hill provided a commanding view of the city and the bay, making it an essential defensive structure. The fortress has undergone numerous transformations throughout the centuries, from a Spanish fortress to a British military base and finally, a popular tourist attraction. Naples, the third-largest city in Italy, is known for its rich history, culture, and natural beauty. The city's unique charm lies in its mix of ancient ruins, vibrant streets, and stunning coastline. The marina, with its colourful boats and bustling activity, adds to the city's character and energy. This lantern slide, with its rich colours and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history and culture of Naples during the late 1800s. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and allure of Italy's most famous cities, making it a must-see for any history or travel enthusiast.
