Historians Manuel Poggio and Antonio Lorenzo take us on an engaging journey into the heart of La Palma through a carefully curated selection of the most outstanding historical photographs of the island. The images span the one hundred year period between 1850 and 1960 and reveal how La Palma has evolved over the years, not only in terms of its economic and landscape changes, but also its ideological values and even its fashions. The work, techniques and styles of all kinds of photographers are captured in more than 150 photographs, many of which have never been published before. They have been collated from local archives as well as collections in other Canary Islands, Spain, Europe and America. This book is a hugely valuable addition to La Palma's cultural heritage and it also asserts the artistic and cultural legacy of photography as a means of communication and expression in its own right. It contains more than 216 old images and reviews the beginning of Photography in Gran Canaria from the hands of one of the greatest experts.
