EDITORS COMMENTS
This photomechanical print, titled "Canal de la Viga, City of Mexico," was created by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson between 1884 and 1900. The image offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the picturesque Canal de la Viga in Mexico City during the late 19th century. The canal, which served as a vital transportation route, is lined with lush trees and vegetation, providing a striking contrast to the wooden boats and men poling them along. The tree-lined canal banks are dotted with men and passengers, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The photograph, published by Detroit Publishing Company, offers a bird's-eye perspective, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the serene beauty of the waterway and its surroundings. The image is reminiscent of the vibrant and colorful landscapes of Central America, showcasing the rich heritage and history of Mexico during this period. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity of water transport and the importance of canals in connecting communities and facilitating commerce during this era. William H. Jackson was a prolific American photographer, known for his stunning landscape and architectural images. This particular print is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of Mexico and the Americas during the late 19th century.
