EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of Puebla in 1903, a bustling city teeming with life and culture. The artist behind this masterpiece is Mortimer L Menpes, whose talent shines through in every brushstroke. The scene depicts a group of local people, both young and old, going about their daily activities under the warm sunlight. The men don traditional Mexican attire, complete with sombreros that shield them from the sun's rays. Their colorful clothes add a touch of vibrancy to the market place where they are gathered. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one can almost hear the sounds of trade and conversation filling the air. Intriguingly, there seems to be an element of science and literature present as well. A man holds up a book that appears to depict illustrations of our solar system—a nod to astronomy perhaps? This fusion between tradition and knowledge adds depth to the composition. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Puebla was not only rich in cultural heritage but also open to embracing new ideas. With its mix of colors, costumes, and concepts, this photograph transports us back in time while reminding us how diverse societies have always been shaped by their surroundings.
