EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mexican Carreta, Chihuahua," was captured by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson between 1884 and 1900. The image presents a panoramic view of a traditional Mexican carreta, or bullock cart, making its way through the rugged terrain of Chihuahua, Mexico. The scene is set against the backdrop of the arid Central American landscape, with the sun casting long shadows over the undulating hills. The carreta is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of the time, as they relied on these ox-drawn carts for transportation of goods and supplies. The oxen, harnessed to the cart, appear strong and determined, their muscles rippling as they laboriously pull the load. This photograph is a stunning example of the photomechanical process, specifically a photochrom print, which was popular during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a period when such transportation methods were the norm. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, and was published by Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for its high-quality reproductions of historical and scenic images. The letterbox format of the print adds to its aesthetic appeal, making it a prized possession for collectors and historians alike. The "Mexican Carreta, Chihuahua" is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of Mexico and Central America during the 19th century. It is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the past.
