EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Grand Square, also known as Zocalo, in Mexico City during the 19th century. The image is a remarkable piece from Ward and Locks Illustrated History of the World, published around 1882 by an English School artist. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we are transported to an era filled with charm and intrigue. The Grand Square stands proudly at the heart of Mexico City, exuding a sense of grandeur that captivates all who visit. Its true name today is Plaza de la Constitucion. The photograph captures the essence of a vibrant cityscape frozen in time. We can almost hear the echoes of horse-drawn carriages clattering on cobblestone streets while people go about their daily lives amidst stunning architecture and ornate buildings. The rich history ingrained within these walls tells tales of Mexican heritage and resilience. It serves as a testament to the nation's journey through centuries, preserving its cultural identity against all odds. This archival gem not only offers us a glimpse into Mexico's past but also reminds us of our shared human history across continents. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over time while still holding onto their unique character. Ken Welsh's expert capture allows us to appreciate this momentous landmark from yesteryears—a window into an enchanting world that continues to inspire awe and admiration for both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
