EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Playa Santo Domingo in Mexico City. The focal point of this picturesque scene is undoubtedly the magnificent church that shares its name with the beach, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a bustling urban setting. Dating back centuries, this Baroque and Colonial Period masterpiece has witnessed countless moments of history unfold within its sacred walls. Its architectural elements showcase intricate details and ornate decorations that are characteristic of this period in South American history. The photograph itself was captured around 1895, providing us with a glimpse into what life was like during that era. The street scene surrounding the church reveals a vibrant atmosphere filled with action, as people go about their daily lives amidst the charm of their surroundings. Beyond the immediate vicinity of the church, we catch sight of lush vegetation and towering trees that add an element of tranquility to this bustling cityscape. It's fascinating to imagine how these landscapes have evolved over time while still retaining their inherent beauty. As we admire this remarkable artwork by Briquet, A. , we can't help but feel drawn into its rich historical tapestry.
