Framed Print of The Bay and Town of Funchal, Madeira, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Bay and Town of Funchal, Madeira, 1874. The island of Madeira, famous for its mild winter climate, and frequently sought by the consumptive patients of England for a refuge in that season, has lately received a few of the victims of West African fever, disabled from exposure to the climate of the Gold Coast in our Ashantee war [ie Third Anglo-Ashanti War]. Madeira is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, about latitude 32 deg. N, longitude 17 deg. W. 400 miles off the northwestern shore of Africa. The island is nearly forty-two miles long and twenty miles broad. It is mountainous, being a mass of basalt rock, with summits from 4000 ft. ta 6000 ft. high, but it is intersected by fertile valleys, with streams of clear water. The vineyards are formed on the sides of the hills, to the height of 2300 ft. above the sea level. In the lower parts many tropical plants are cultivated, the sugar-cane, the date palm, and maize. The population is about 100, 000, of mixed race, but the Portuguese nationality is in the ascendant. Madeira was discovered and colonised by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century. We present a view of the harbour and town, of Funchal, the only town in the island'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
