.

The photograph was taken in 1944 or 1945 in Costa da Caparica by Leslie H. Howard, a British citizen who lived in Portugal between the 20s and 70s of last century. 

In this image we see how the poor residents of Caparica lived, a town that in the 40s was relatively small and not very important.

Amateur photographer Leslie H. Howard left a vast collection of photographs and negatives resulting from his travels in Portugal between the 1920s and 1950s.

This photograph was printed from one of his negatives.
