EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lantern slide depicts a group of men being carried out of the entrance of a levada tunnel on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira, located in the Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the 1890s, this image offers a glimpse into the past of this fascinating island and its unique irrigation system. Madeira, a volcanic archipelago, is renowned for its lush greenery and diverse landscapes. The levadas, which are irrigation channels or aqueducts, were built to transport water from the wetter western and northwestern parts of the island to the drier southeastern regions, where agriculture and habitation are more feasible. The men in this image are likely workers, making their way out of the tunnel after completing maintenance or repairs. The use of hammocks for transportation was a common practice in Madeira, allowing for a more efficient and comfortable way to traverse the rugged terrain. The intricate network of levadas is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the people of Madeira. This image, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the island's rich history and the essential role the levadas played in shaping its landscape and way of life.
