EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Mexico City in 1880. The image showcases a bustling street scene, where two distinct elements steal the show - a pulqueria and a carreta. In the foreground, we see a traditional Mexican cart known as a carreta, adorned with intricate designs and pulled by sturdy horses. This mode of transportation was essential for carrying goods across the city's vibrant streets. Its presence adds an authentic touch to this snapshot of daily life in historic Mexico. Adjacent to the carreta stands a pulqueria, an establishment synonymous with Mexican culture during that era. With its open doors inviting passersby inside, this bar served pulque - a fermented beverage made from agave plants. It was undoubtedly a popular spot for locals seeking refreshment or socializing after long days of work. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is William Henry Jackson, renowned for his ability to capture scenes that transport viewers through time. Through his lens, he immortalized not only carts and wagons but also the essence of Mexican society at that particular moment in history. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print today, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document—a window into Mexico's past filled with lively streetscapes, cultural traditions like pulquerias and carretas that have shaped its identity over centuries.
