Doorway Granada Guard Pitcher Portugal Rifles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene outside a stone building in Granada, Spain, with two guardsmen standing watch, their rifles at the ready. The men, dressed in traditional uniforms, are positioned next to each other, their stern expressions conveying a sense of duty and vigilance. Behind them, a lantern hangs from the doorway, casting a warm glow over the rough-hewn stones and a pitcher resting on the sill. The image, part of the Boswell collection, dates back to around 1900 and offers a glimpse into the past, when the borders between Spain and Portugal were more closely guarded. The two countries, separated by the Guadiana River, have a complex history marked by conflict and cooperation. This photograph, with its timeless composition and intriguing backstory, invites us to reflect on the rich cultural heritage of the Iberian Peninsula and the enduring legacy of its historic borders.
