EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hotel at Taninul," was captured by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson between 1880 and 1897. The image depicts a picturesque hotel nestled among the rolling hills of Taninul, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The scene is set against a backdrop of Central American geography, with the hotel perched atop a hillside overlooking a winding path leading to the village below. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was taken using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, a popular method during the nineteenth century. The image is rich in historical significance, offering a glimpse into the past of Central American tourism and travel. Two people can be seen in the foreground, adding a human element to the scene and emphasizing the potential allure of the hotel as a resting place for weary travelers. The Hotel at Taninul was likely operated by the Detroit Publishing Company or Detroit Publishing Co., a prominent American publishing house known for producing and distributing high-quality photographic reproductions of images like this one. The company's extensive collection of photographs, including those taken by William H. Jackson, helped to popularize travel and tourism in the United States and beyond. Today, this photograph is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the past and preserving the legacy of William H. Jackson's work. It is now part of the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its importance in documenting the history of both Mexico and the United States during the late nineteenth century.
