EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable moment in history - road repair in Yucatan. The image, captured by Augustus and Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, takes us back to a time when progress was being made to improve transportation infrastructure. The photograph depicts indigenous workers diligently drilling rocks as part of their preparations for blasting. Their efforts were aimed at leveling the road, ensuring smoother journeys for travelers in the region. The determination on their faces reflects their commitment to this arduous task. Augustus Le Plongeon's handwriting on the verso provides valuable context and insight into this scene. His words describe the location as Jixkokob and emphasize that these individuals are "Indians" involved in manual labor to enhance road conditions. The cabinet-sized stereograph format adds an element of depth and dimensionality to the image, allowing viewers to immerse themselves further into this historical moment. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize how it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It reminds us that progress often requires hard work, collaboration, and dedication - qualities embodied by those depicted here.
