EDITORS COMMENTS
Avenida de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Patriotic Card (1913) This evocative image captures the patriotic spirit of Buenos Aires, Argentina, as depicted on a vintage postcard from 1913. The central focus of the photograph is the iconic Avenida de Mayo, a historic street in the heart of the city. The avenue is named after the May Revolution of 1810, which marked the beginning of Argentina's struggle for independence from Spain. The postcard design features a stylized representation of the Argentine flag, with its distinctive sun with a human face, known as the Sun of May, in the upper left corner. The flag's colors - sky blue and white - are echoed in the blue sky above the avenue and the white buildings that line its streets. At the center of the image, two hands, adorned with red caps, are shown shaking in a gesture of solidarity and unity. The red caps, or berets, are a nod to the traditional attire of the Argentine military and are a symbol of Argentine patriotism. The crest of the Argentine coat of arms, featuring the national motto "Unión, Justicia, y Libertad" (Union, Justice, and Liberty), is also visible in the lower right corner of the postcard. The rising sun in the background adds a sense of optimism and hope for the future. This patriotic card is a testament to the enduring pride and love for Argentina's rich history and cultural heritage, as well as its commitment to the values of unity, justice, and liberty.
