EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Glimpse into Mexico City's Past: Circa 1905 This photograph, titled "Calle del Refugio," offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Mexico City, circa 1905. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer, portrays a bustling street scene, where the energy and vibrancy of urban life are palpable. The photograph showcases the intersection of Calle del Refugio and Calle de la Luz, located in the heart of Mexico City. The street is lined with a diverse array of shops, each with their unique wares on display. The shops, adorned with colorful awnings, cater to the various needs of the community, from groceries and textiles to hardware and pharmaceuticals. A streetcar, identified by the "Mexico City" sign on its side, glides gracefully down the street, carrying passengers to their destinations. The vintage tram, a common mode of transportation during this era, adds to the charm and character of the scene. As we delve deeper into the image, we notice the presence of horse-drawn carriages, which coexist harmoniously with the modern streetcar. The carriages, often used for personal transportation or as taxis, provide a stark contrast to the more industrial mode of transport. The photograph also reveals the architectural diversity of Mexico City, with a mix of European and Mexican influences. The buildings, some adorned with intricate details, others more utilitarian, reflect the city's rich cultural heritage. Overall, "Calle del Refugio" serves as an invaluable record of Mexico City's history, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The photograph invites us to explore the city's past, as we marvel at the resilience and adaptability of its people and the enduring charm of its streets.
