EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Rolf Richardson transports us to the historic town of Cidade Velha in Santiago, one of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of Africa. The focal point of this image is a remarkable pillar known as the Pillory, which stands proudly against a backdrop of contemporary architecture. The Pillory holds great significance as a landmark that symbolizes both the past and present. It serves as a reminder of Cidade Velha's rich history, dating back to its founding in 1462 when it became the first European colonial settlement in tropical Africa. This UNESCO World Heritage Site witnessed centuries of Portuguese influence and African slave trade. As we gaze at this vertical composition, we are drawn into an exploration of culture and heritage. The vibrant colors captured by Richardson enhance our visual experience, immersing us in the unique atmosphere that characterizes Cape Verde Islands. Through his lens, Richardson invites us to embark on a journey through time and space. We can almost feel ourselves walking along the cobblestone streets surrounding the Pillory, tracing footsteps from generations long gone. This photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also evokes emotions tied to travel and discovery. It beckons adventurers seeking authentic experiences to consider Cidade Velha as their next destination—a place where history comes alive amidst stunning landscapes and warm-hearted locals who embrace visitors with open arms.
