EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the breathtaking beauty of Machico, a historic town located on the Portuguese island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the late 15th century, Machico is one of the oldest settlements in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal. The image showcases the rugged, mountainous terrain that characterizes this island paradise, with its rocky cliffs giving way to lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Nestled in the valley below is the quaint, traditional village of Machico, with its charming whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs. The peaceful scene is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this enchanting destination, which has long been a favorite among travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell collection, was likely taken during the 1890s, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past and the allure of this magical place that continues to captivate visitors to this day.
