This photo print, taken by the talented photographer Robert Edward Dudley Ryder during the British Graham Land Expedition of 1934-37, transports us to a small harbour in the Azores. The image showcases a picturesque scene where a charming schooner gracefully rests at anchor, its majestic mainsail proudly unfurled against the azure sky. A rowing boat with two men standing in it gently floats at the stern, adding an element of human presence and activity to this tranquil setting. The composition not only captures the beauty of these sailing vessels but also provides a glimpse into life on shore. Behind the boats, we catch sight of a settlement nestled amidst rolling hills and verdant landscapes.
