EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the bustling harbor of Puerto de la Luz in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, dating back to the 1920s. The image showcases a scene filled with activity as steamships and steamers line the docks, ready to set sail on their next voyage. The quayside is alive with movement as workers load and unload cargo from the ships, creating a vibrant atmosphere that is typical of a busy port city.
The architecture of the buildings along the waterfront adds to the charm of this historic snapshot, giving us a glimpse into what life was like in this bustling maritime hub nearly a century ago. The clear blue skies and calm waters provide a picturesque backdrop for this scene, highlighting the natural beauty of these Spanish islands.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when travel by sea was still one of the primary modes of transportation. The sense of adventure and excitement that must have filled the air at Puerto de la Luz during this period is palpable through Grenville Collins' lens.
This print serves as a timeless reminder of the rich history and unique charm of the Canary Islands - truly a gem in Spain's archipelago that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
