EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, transports us back in time to the charming streets of Funchal, Madeira, an enchanting Portuguese island located in the Atlantic Ocean. The image showcases a bustling street scene filled with shops that once thrived in the heart of this historic port town. The cobblestone road, lined with traditional Portuguese buildings, is adorned with colorful sunblinds that provide shade to the shopkeepers and their wares. In the foreground, we see the distinctive Handy House, a local embroidery shop renowned for its intricate textiles and beautiful handiwork. The display in the window showcases the vibrant embroidery, a popular souvenir for tourists visiting the island. Across the street, the Casa Havaneza, another local shop, can be seen. Its facade, adorned with intricate architectural details, invites passersby to explore its offerings. The presence of tramlines on the road suggests that this area was well-connected, making it easily accessible to both residents and visitors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant trade that once defined Funchal's streets. The shops, with their colorful displays and inviting facades, showcase the unique character of this Portuguese town and the thriving tourism industry that has long attracted visitors to the island.
