Calles de la Monterilla, Mexico City, Mexico (circa 1905): A Glimpse into the Past This aerial photograph captures the vibrant and bustling scene of Calles de la Monterilla in Mexico City during the early 1900s. The image offers a unique perspective of the urban landscape, revealing a mosaic of streets, buildings, and transportation modes that coexisted during this era. The photograph showcases a dense network of roads, with Calles de la Monterilla stretching out like a vein through the heart of the city. The buildings, a mix of old and new structures, line the streets, their facades adorned with sunshades and colorful details. Shops and stores, some with telegraph wires and others with horse-drawn carriages parked outside, add to the lively atmosphere. The photograph also highlights the various modes of transportation that were prevalent during this time. Trams and tramcars, with their distinctive tracks, crisscross the streets, providing an efficient means of transport for the city's residents. Horses and horse-drawn carriages, on the other hand, offer a more traditional and personalized alternative. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, bathing the streets in a golden light that adds to the charm of this historic image. The photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico City during the early 1900s.
