EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in the heart of the Caribbean in 1917, showcases the stunning contrast between the Military Road in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the vibrant Flamboyant Tree, also known as the Royal Poinciana or Delonix regia. Built in 1850, the Military Road winds its way through the rural countryside, its green grass and gentle hills providing a serene backdrop to the bustling city of San Juan. The road, a testament to Puerto Rico's rich history, is lined with lush vegetation, adding to the idyllic scene. In the foreground, a solitary Flamboyant Tree stands proudly, its pink blossoms in full bloom against the clear blue sky. The Flamboyant Tree, a native of Madagascar, was introduced to Puerto Rico in the late 1800s and has since become a beloved symbol of the island. The tree's vibrant pink flowers, which bloom in abundance during the dry season, add a burst of color to the landscape, making it a popular sight for visitors and locals alike. The photograph captures the essence of Puerto Rico during the 1910s, a time of growth and transformation as the island began to establish its identity as a territory of the United States. The Military Road and the Flamboyant Tree, two iconic symbols of Puerto Rico's past and present, come together in this image, offering a glimpse into the island's rich history and natural beauty.
