EDITORS COMMENTS
PDC-F-002613-0000: Ruins in the archaeological site of Mitla, Mexico". This print transports us back to the enchanting world of ancient civilizations. Taken around 1890, it captures a close-up view of one of the magnificent buildings within the archaeological site of Mitla. Standing proudly at its entrance are a row of colossal monolithic columns, exuding an aura of grandeur and mystery. Amidst this architectural marvel stands a Mexican man wearing a traditional sombrero, adding a touch of local flavor to the scene. His presence next to one of these towering columns serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since their creation, these structures continue to be intertwined with the lives and culture of modern-day Mexico. The artwork itself dates back much further than the photograph's capture date; it belongs to an era between 450 and 700 AD. This ancient necropolis holds immense historical significance as it represents non-Christian religions practiced by Central and South American peoples during that time. The composition showcases not only the impressive columned structure but also offers glimpses into the surrounding landscape with other ruins dotting its vast expanse. It is through such images that we can appreciate both the intricate details found in building elements and decorations while also admiring how they harmoniously blend into their natural surroundings. This photograph by Waite provides us with an invaluable glimpse into history—bridging cultures across time—and invites us to explore our shared human heritage through anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and architecture. Let this image transport you on a journey through time as you immerse yourself in Mexico's rich past.
