EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, specifically to Mission Dolores in San Francisco, California. Taken in 1937 as part of the publication "Old California, In Pictures and Story" this image captures the essence of a bygone era. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly Mission Dolores itself, standing proudly amidst its surroundings. The building's architectural beauty is highlighted against a clear blue sky, while an American flag flutters gently in the breeze nearby. This juxtaposition symbolizes both Christianity and patriotism, representing the strong influence of Roman Catholicism on early American settlers. Intriguingly, we see people walking along a street adjacent to the mission. Their presence adds life and movement to an otherwise static scene. They are dressed in typical attire of that time period – men wearing suits and hats while women don elegant dresses. Mission Dolores holds great historical significance as one of California's oldest missions founded during Spanish colonization. It served as a religious center for Native Americans who were converted to Catholicism by Franciscan missionaries. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a visual reminder of America's rich cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect upon our roots and appreciate how far we have come since those early days in San Francisco.
