Giron de la Union, Lima, Peru - A Snapshot of Everyday Life in the 1910s This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling streets of Lima, Peru's capital city. The image, titled 'Giron de la Union,' showcases a busy intersection in the heart of the city, where trams, cars, and pedestrians coexist in a lively dance of urban life. The photograph's focal point is the intersection of Giron de la Union, where the tramlines crisscross the pavement, leading to various directions. The trams, an essential mode of transportation during this era, are seen stopping at the curb, allowing passengers to alight and board. The cars, a symbol of modernity and progress, are parked neatly along the side of the road, waiting for their owners or passengers. Pedestrians, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, can be seen crossing the intersection, some hurrying to their destinations while others leisurely stroll along the pavement. Shops and businesses line the streets, their colorful facades displaying a variety of goods and services. Above the scene, overhead cables crisscross the sky, providing power to the city's electric infrastructure. The cables, a testament to the city's modernization, add an intriguing layer to the photograph, further highlighting the intersection's energy and dynamism. This photograph, from the Mary Evans/Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of Lima during the 1910s. It captures the city's unique character, showcasing the blend of tradition and modernity, the hustle and bustle, and the spirit of progress that defined this era.
