EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the breathtaking view of Funchal, the largest city on the Portuguese island of Madeira, as seen from the sea in the late 1800s. The Atlantic Ocean's crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant colors of the city's rooftops, while the natural amphitheater of the bay cradles the harbor and its bustling commercial activity. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 330 miles off the coast of Morocco. The archipelago's volcanic origins have shaped its unique topography, with lush greenery cascading down steep cliffs and picturesque terraces. Funchal, the administrative, economic, and cultural center of Madeira, has been a popular destination for travelers since the late 19th century, drawn by its subtropical climate, natural beauty, and rich history. The lantern slide, part of Box 126, Canary and Madeira, slide no 26, dates back to the 1890s. The intricate details of the image, from the ships in the harbor to the buildings along the shoreline, offer a glimpse into the past, revealing the charm and allure of Funchal during this era. This historical artifact invites us to explore the fascinating history of Madeira and its connection to the wider world.
