Légende

Madeirese villa, near Funchal, 1845. Grapevine growing along a pergola on the island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean. 'One of the modes in which the vines are grown...'. Here we see '...a Marine Villa, with arches supporting trellis-work, through which are seen the vessels in the Bay of Funchal. Opposite the town, the steep shingle beach is ill adapted for sea-bathing, for which purpose this villa was originally solely built; it lies about a mile and a quarter from the town, in a snug and beautiful little bay, fronting the south, and backed with cliffs, which have, from time to time, fallen in, and formed this sheltered nook: here the north-east wind is never felt, but it is fanned by the mild southern breezes from the Atlantic'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
