EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the vibrant port city of Arica, Chile during the 1920s, showcases the grandeur of the Customs House, a testament to the rich history of international trade that once thrived in this region. The Customs House, with its imposing architecture and intricate details, served as the gateway for the import and export of goods between Chile and other countries. Arica, located in the northernmost part of Chile, has always been an essential hub for commerce due to its strategic position on the Pacific Ocean. The city's proximity to Peru and Bolivia made it a melting pot of diverse cultures and goods. The Customs House played a crucial role in the regulation and facilitation of trade, ensuring that only legitimate goods entered and exited the country. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the exchange of goods was a laborious and intricate process. The Customs House, with its grandeur and importance, stands as a symbol of the economic and cultural connections that existed between Chile and the rest of the world during this period. The image invites us to reflect on the history of international trade and the role that Arica and its Customs House played in shaping the economic landscape of Chile and the wider region.
