EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920, transports us to the charming streets of Chorrera, Panama. The image, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, showcases the unique character of this Central American town during the 1910s and 1920s. The scene is set on a bustling street, where the sounds of daily life echo through the air. Men in various attire, some wearing white shirts and hats, others in traditional Panamanian garb, engage in conversation or go about their business. The women, clad in long, flowing skirts and blouses, can be seen tending to their homes or watching the activity from doorways. The architectural diversity of Chorrera is on full display, with dwellings boasting a mix of thatched and tiled roofs. One house, featuring a prominent red door, draws the eye with its vibrant color against the monochrome backdrop. The image also captures the essence of the town's rich heritage, with its cobblestone streets, wooden balconies, and the Congressional Library in the distance. This photograph, a glass 8 x 10 inch dwelling on dry plate negative, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history and culture of Chorrera, Panama during the 20th century.
