EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the 1800s, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Los Angeles. The image showcases a Mexican village nestled within the bustling streets of this vibrant American city. A Mexican pulque carrier is depicted, his burro dutifully carrying barrels of this traditional alcoholic beverage through town. The illustration transports us to an era when animal power was relied upon for transportation and commerce. It serves as a reminder of the diverse ethnic groups that contributed to shaping California's heritage, particularly the Spanish-speaking population who played a significant role in its development. As we admire this vintage artwork, it becomes evident that Los Angeles has always been a melting pot of cultures and traditions. This snapshot captures not only the physical landscape but also reflects on the social fabric woven by Latino communities such as Chicanos and Mexican Americans. Through this visual time capsule, we are reminded of North America's complex history and how it continues to shape our present-day society. Let us appreciate these glimpses into our past as they provide valuable insights into our collective identity as Americans.
