EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Automobiling a delight in Porto Rico" takes us back to the early 20th century when exploring the picturesque streets of San Juan was an exhilarating experience. Captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, this image showcases the joyous spirit of motorists as they navigate through paved roads on their automobiles. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to a different era. A group of well-dressed individuals, including a banker and even prisoners, can be seen enjoying this newfound mode of transportation. The presence of these diverse characters adds depth and intrigue to the composition. Intriguingly, amidst this lively atmosphere, we notice a fruit bowl placed prominently on one of the vehicles. This inclusion hints at the significance of botany and natural history during that time period – perhaps highlighting scientific methods used for food supply or showcasing exotic fruits from distant lands like Iceland or Europe. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that automobiling was not just about reaching destinations but also about embracing adventure and exploration. Through candid photography techniques employed by the artist, we are granted access to witness firsthand how technology transformed everyday life in Porto Rico (now known as Puerto Rico). This remarkable print serves as a testament to human curiosity and progress while offering us glimpses into forgotten chapters of our past.
