EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures a memorable moment during a visit to the Pouso House of Refuge on the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira, circa 1890s. The rustic building, with its weathered walls and simple architecture, stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. A crowd of people, dressed in late 19th century attire, have gathered outside the House, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. The Pouso House of Refuge was an essential institution on Madeira, providing shelter and assistance to the island's needy and destitute population. The baskets and sticks visible against the wall suggest that the people in the photograph may have been gathering supplies or perhaps preparing for a communal meal. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and unique cultural heritage. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the island's residents during a bygone era, providing a valuable historical record for generations to come. The Pouso House of Refuge, with its enduring legacy, continues to be a testament to the resilience and community spirit of the people of Madeira. This evocative lantern slide invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of this enchanting Atlantic island.
