Atlantic Eden: The Azores and Madeira Archipelagos in 1903
About the Item
This original antique print is a historical map titled "PORTUGAL INSULAR," which translates to "Insular Portugal." It shows the Portuguese archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, with detailed insets for each major island such as São Miguel, Terceira, Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa, Flores, Corvo, Madeira, and Porto Santo.
These archipelagos are special for various reasons:
**The Azores (Arquipélago dos Açores):**
1. **Geothermal and Volcanic Activity**: The Azores are situated over the meeting point of three tectonic plates, leading to notable geothermal and volcanic activity, with hot springs and geysers, especially on São Miguel.
2. **Biodiversity and Nature**: The islands are known for their lush, green landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and diverse marine life, which makes it a popular spot for whale watching.
3. **Cultural Heritage**: The Azores have a rich history, reflected in the architecture, festivals, and traditions that are unique to the islands.
4. **Agriculture**: The islands are also known for dairy farming and the production of the famous São Jorge cheese.
**Madeira Archipelago (Arquipélago da Madeira):**
1. **Subtropical Climate**: Madeira enjoys a year-round mild climate, which has made it a popular destination for tourists seeking a temperate getaway.
2. **Levadas and Hiking**: The network of levadas (irrigation channels) provides unique hiking trails through stunning landscapes and ancient laurel forests.
3. **Flora and Fauna**: Madeira is famous for its rich botanical gardens, exotic flowers, and birdlife.
4. **Madeira Wine**: The island is renowned for its namesake wine, a fortified wine that has been produced there for centuries.

Eden Revisited, A Garden in Northern Morocco
By Rizzoli International Publications
Located in New York, NY
Author Umberto Pasti and Ngoc Minh Ngo, Foreword by Martina Mondadori Sartogo
A lovingly photographed tour of internationally renowned writer Umberto Pasti's famous hillside garden in Morocco.
Italian writer and horticulturist Umberto Pasti's passion for the wild flora of Tangier and its surrounding region led him to create his world-famous garden, Rohuna, where he has transplanted thousands of plants rescued from construction sites with the aid of men from the village.
Planted between two small houses is the Garden of Consolation: a series of rooms and terraces with lush vegetation, some rendering homage to the paintings of Henri Rousseau, others inspired by invented characters. Surrounding the Garden of Consolation are the Wild Garden and a hillside devoted to the wild flowering bulbs of northern Morocco, where indigenous species of narcissus, iris, crocus, scilla, gladiolus, and others bloom. With its stunning vistas and verdant fields, Rohuna is a garden of incomparable beauty with the mission to preserve the botanical richness of the region. Captured here in detail by celebrated photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo, the poetic beauty of this special and unique place is lovingly rendered for all the world to see and share.
