EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Texas-Tex, a Mexican horseman, standing proudly in the saddle against the backdrop of the Rio Grande during the early 20th century. The Rio Grande, a natural boundary between Texas and Mexico, was the site of intense conflict between the two territories in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Texas-Tex, a Mexican national, is depicted wearing traditional clothing including a wide-brimmed sombrero, a long-sleeved shirt, and a heavy belt adorned with intricate tooled leather work. The horse, its coat glistening with sweat, appears calm and obedient as Texas-Tex holds the reins with one hand and a coiled rope in the other. The rugged terrain and the vast expanse of the river in the background add to the sense of wildness and untamed spirit of the region. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, brought about significant changes to the political landscape of Mexico and had a profound impact on the borderlands. This photograph, taken during a period of heightened tension between Texas and Mexico, offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who lived and worked along the Rio Grande during a time of conflict and change. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex history between Texas and Mexico, and the enduring connection between the two cultures. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of the people who lived in this region during a time of turmoil and uncertainty.
