EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard image captures the ethereal beauty of the Fountain of Diana, the Huntress, located in Mexico City's iconic Paseo de la Reforma during the 1920s. The photograph showcases the elegant statue of Diana, the mythical goddess of the hunt, poised to fire her bow with an air of grace and power. The water jets surrounding the statue add to the scene's tranquility and serenity, creating a captivating visual display. The Fountain of Diana was originally installed in Mexico City's Paseo de la Reforma, a prominent boulevard known for its beautiful parks and historic monuments. The statue, a gift from the French government, was later moved to Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico, in 1983. Diana, the Huntress, is a popular figure in Greek and Roman mythology. She is often depicted as a strong and independent goddess, clothed in armor and carrying a bow and quiver. The mythological tale of Diana and her hunting companions is one of the most enduring stories in Western literature and art. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of Mexico City's rich history and cultural heritage. The image's timeless quality and the allure of the mythological figure of Diana continue to captivate viewers and inspire artists and writers to this day.
