1833 1860s 1880s Abel Briquet Mexico Panoramic View Veracruz Orizaba
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning panoramic view of Orizaba, captured by Abel Briquet in the late 19th century, transports us back in time to a Mexico that is both familiar and foreign. The photograph, printed on albumen silver paper, showcases the immense beauty of this Veracruz city nestled amidst lush greenery and towering mountains. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic peak of Pico de Orizaba, also known as Citlaltépetl. Its snow-capped summit stands proudly against the clear blue sky, commanding attention and evoking a sense of awe. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating; rolling hills dotted with charming houses and winding roads create a picturesque scene that invites exploration. Briquet's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the natural wonders but also the human presence within this idyllic setting. Tiny figures can be seen going about their daily lives – farmers tending to their crops, children playing in fields – reminding us that despite its grandeur, Orizaba is a place where people live and thrive. This photograph serves as more than just a visual record; it captures an essence - an atmosphere frozen in time. It invites us to imagine what life was like during those years between the 1860s and 1880s when Briquet roamed these lands with his camera. Through his lens, we catch a glimpse of Mexico's rich history and cultural heritage while simultaneously appreciating its timeless beauty.
