EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the stunning Leiria Fountain located in the heart of Leiria, a city in the Centro Region of Portugal. The image presents a picturesque scene of the fountain's foreground, where a bullock-drawn cart laden with barrels is parked, surrounded by curious onlookers. The fountain, a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage, stands proudly in the center, its water cascading gracefully into the basin below. In the background, the quaint houses of Leiria can be seen, their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls creating a charming contrast against the clear blue sky. Leiria is the capital city of Leiria District and the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leiria-Fonseca. With a population of approximately 50,200 inhabitants in the city proper and nearly 130,000 in the entire municipality, Leiria is an essential cultural and economic center in the region. This photograph is part of the Boswell collection, a valuable archive of historical images that offers a glimpse into the past. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of life in Leiria during the early 20th century, providing a fascinating window into a bygone era.
