Notes:   Praça do Comércio, a square also known under the name of Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon, Portugal. The photograph was taken during the morning since the boy's shadow points to the west; the photographer had her back turned to the Tagus river. The arch is known as Arco da Rua Augusta (Augusta Street's Arch). All the constructions around the square were built soon after the terrible earthquake and tsunami of 1755. Identification of photo by Antonio Santos (May 2015).
