EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1895, offering a mesmerizing view of Gibraltar's iconic Rock as seen from the sea. The disputed piece of land sits on a narrow strait connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and is bordered by Spain to its north. The photograph was captured by W &s Ltd, featured in "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London. This monochrome image beautifully showcases Britain's overseas territory with its rugged mountains dominating the landscape. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it transports us to an era when people would flock to Gibraltar's coastlines for leisurely beach outings. The presence of individuals adds depth and perspective against this breathtaking backdrop. Gibraltar holds immense historical significance due to its strategic location at the entrance of the Mediterranean. Its towering rock formation has witnessed countless battles throughout history. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience and cultural diversity. This remarkable print not only captures nature's grandeur but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during that period. It allows us to appreciate both geographical features and British colonial heritage while contemplating how such disputed territories have shaped our world today.
