Atlantic Exotic Madeira Palm Portugal Portuguese Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the enchanting beauty of the Public Gardens in Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal located in the Atlantic Ocean. Established in the late 19th century, the gardens are a lush oasis filled with an impressive collection of exotic plants and palm trees, transporting visitors to far-off lands. Madeira, a popular destination for European travelers during the late 1800s, was renowned for its subtropical climate and unique botanical wonders. The gardens, which opened in 1878, were a testament to the region's rich biodiversity and the dedication of its inhabitants to preserving and showcasing it. The slide, part of the Boswell collection, Box 125, and numbered 44, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the 1890s. The image reveals a stunning array of exotic flora, including ferns, orchids, and various species of palm trees, all thriving in the Madeiran climate. The serene atmosphere of the gardens is further emphasized by the absence of people in the scene, allowing the plants to take center stage. The lantern slide, with its intricate details and tonal range, is a testament to the artistry of the photographer, who skillfully captured the essence of this magical place. The black and white medium not only adds to the timeless quality of the image but also highlights the beauty and diversity of the plants, making it a captivating piece of historical documentation.
