EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-S-000505-0015" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Mexico City's Cathedral square. Captured between 1880 and 1910, this snapshot showcases a vibrant scene filled with people from all walks of life. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent National Palace, standing tall and proud against the city skyline. Its tower and intricate building elements exude an air of grandeur, while decorative sections add a touch of elegance to its architecture. The surrounding structures reflect various styles of housing, creating a diverse urban landscape. As our gaze wanders through the frame, we notice a horse-drawn tram making its way along the road. This traditional mode of transportation adds charm and nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when cars were yet to dominate our streets. Amidst all this activity, we see pedestrians going about their daily lives - some strolling leisurely by land while others gather near a kiosk pavilion for conversation or relaxation. The square itself serves as a hub for social interaction and community gatherings. Lush trees and vegetation provide shade and tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. They offer respite from city life while enhancing the overall beauty of this picturesque view. This remarkable photograph was captured by Cox and Carmichael - two talented individuals who have masterfully immortalized this moment in history through their lens. It offers us a glimpse into Mexico City's past - an era defined by architectural marvels, lively street scenes, and unique modes of transportation.
