EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Landing Quay in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands during the 1900s. The quay, teeming with life, is filled with ships of various sizes and shapes, their sails billowing in the wind. People and horses are busy unloading cargo from the ships, with crates, barrels, and other goods stacked high on the quay. The horses, a common mode of transportation during this era, are seen carrying heavy loads, their muscles straining with the effort. The scene is one of industry and commerce, with the coastal backdrop adding to the sense of excitement and energy. The vibrant colors and rich details of this photograph transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of this bustling port city." "The Landing Quay in Las Palmas was a crucial hub for the import and export of goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The Canary Islands, with their strategic location in the Atlantic Ocean, played a significant role in the transatlantic trade routes. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Las Palmas and the Canary Islands, and serves as a reminder of the important role they played in shaping the world we know today." "This photograph, taken in the 1900s, is a rare and valuable document of history, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed. It offers a unique perspective into the past and the daily life of this bustling port city during an era of great change and transformation. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-see for anyone interested in history, travel, or the world of yesteryears.
