EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Praca Nova, located on the east side of Mindello (Mindelo) in St Vincent (Sao Vicente) Island, part of the stunning Cape Verde Islands in the vast Atlantic Ocean. The image dates back to 1922, offering a glimpse into life on this vibrant island nearly a century ago.
In this snapshot from the 1920s, we see a lively scene with people going about their daily activities amidst charming colonial buildings and lush palm trees lining the streets. The pavement is filled with pedestrians strolling along, adding to the dynamic atmosphere of this historic square.
The architecture of Praca Nova reflects its rich history as a Portuguese colony, with ornate details adorning each building that stand as testaments to its past. The palm trees sway gently in the breeze, providing shade for those seeking respite from the warm tropical sun.
As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where life moved at a slower pace and simplicity reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of these remote islands nestled in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
