EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Veracruz, Mexico,' was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1914 and 1917. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling port city of Veracruz, Mexico, during a pivotal period in its history. The photograph showcases the industrial might of Veracruz, with its towering fortress-like buildings and busy port activity. Ships of various sizes and shapes can be seen anchored in the Gulf of Mexico, their masts and sails silhouetted against the sky. The shipping industry was a significant economic driver for Veracruz during this time, making it an essential hub for trade between Mexico and the United States. The image also highlights the city's strategic location on the Atlantic coast, which made it a valuable asset for both Mexico and the United States during the Mexican Revolution and the subsequent intervention by American forces. The fortress in the background, with its imposing walls and cannons, serves as a reminder of the military significance of Veracruz. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. Martha Ewing, also known as Martha Kuntze or Martha Newcombe, was an accomplished photographer in her own right and worked closely with her husband, George, to document the world around them. Their glass negative, now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique perspective on the history of Veracruz and the broader geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century.
