EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 19th century photograph captures the enchanting scene of the Girls College and Customs House in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Officially known as Santiago de Guayaquil, this bustling city is the largest in the country and serves as the nation's primary port. The Girls College, a prestigious educational institution, stands proudly on the left side of the image, its white walls adorned with intricate architectural details. The Customs House, a symbol of Guayaquil's rich cultural heritage, can be seen on the right, its grandeur reflected in the calm waters of the river. The photograph, believed to date back to the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s, offers a glimpse into the early days of this urban town. The transportation system of the time is evident with the horse-drawn carriages and watercraft docked along the riverbank. The military residence, located between the two buildings, adds a sense of security and order to the scene. The landscape of Guayaquil is a beautiful blend of traditional and modern elements. The Customs House, with its impressive facade and tall columns, stands as a testament to the city's historical significance. The Girls College, with its well-manicured gardens and open windows, represents the town's commitment to education and progress. As the sun sets over the horizon, the streets of Guayaquil come alive with the sounds of the bustling port and the vibrant energy of the town. This photograph serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the enduring beauty of its architecture and traditions.
