EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a pulqueria, or pulque bar, in Mexico City, Mexico, circa 1905. This evocative photograph transports us back in time to an era when the traditional production and consumption of pulque, an ancient alcoholic beverage, held a significant place in Mexican culture. The interior of this humble establishment is adorned with intricate wallpaper and vibrant paintings, reflecting the rich history and folklore surrounding this unique drink. The barman, dressed in a white shirt and apron, skillfully pours a frothy serving of pulque into a clay mug for a customer, who dons a traditional sombrero. The barrels lining the walls and the boat-shaped container on the counter are filled with the fermented sap of the maguey plant, which has been harvested and transformed into pulque through a natural fermentation process. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, with the clinking of glasses and the hushed conversations of patrons creating a symphony of sounds. The marble countertop, with its intricate design, adds an elegant touch to the rustic setting. As we gaze into the scene, we can almost hear the laughter and camaraderie that once filled this space. The pulqueria, with its unique character and historical significance, stands as a testament to Mexico City's rich cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to savor the flavors, sounds, and traditions of a time long past.
