EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Taos Plaza's west side in the 1920s, a time when the historic New Mexico town was beginning to attract visitors from around the world. The Plaza, the heart of Taos, is filled with a vibrant mix of adobe buildings, each with its unique character and charm. On the left side of the image, a row of shops and stores can be seen, their doors open invitingly, displaying an array of goods for sale. The Montaner Theatre, a popular entertainment venue, stands proudly at the end of the row, its marquee advertising a performance. Parked cars line the street, adding a touch of modernity to the otherwise traditional setting. Across the Plaza, a row of buildings houses various businesses, including a grocery store and other shops. The road leading out of the Plaza is bustling with activity, with cars and horse-drawn carts making their way through the dusty terrain. The Plaza, with its rich history and cultural significance, has been a gathering place for the Taos Pueblo people for centuries. It was also a favorite destination for artists and writers, who were drawn to the town's unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and Anglo-American influences. This photograph, taken in the 1920s by Gusdorf for Gerson, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a place of beauty and history. The Plaza remains a must-visit destination for travelers to Taos, New Mexico, a testament to its enduring allure and charm.
