EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Medellin, the capital city of the Antioquia Department in Colombia. In the heart of this vibrant urban scene, we find a group of Colombian drovers, proudly leading their cattle through the city. The Antioquia Department, located in the central part of Colombia, is renowned for its rich agricultural heritage and thriving ranching industry. These skilled cow hands, or 'vaqueros,' were integral to the region's economy, responsible for the transportation of livestock from rural ranches to the markets and processing facilities in Medellin. The image showcases the dedication and expertise of these Colombian drovers, as they expertly guide their cattle through the city's bustling streets. Dressed in traditional cowboy attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats, long pants, and leather boots, they exude a sense of confidence and determination. Their strong bond with their animals is evident, as they communicate with gentle touches and reassuring words. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into Colombia's rich agricultural past and the essential role that ranchers and cow hands played in the country's development. The Antioquia Department's vibrant ranching industry continues to thrive today, with Medellin serving as a vital hub for the region's livestock trade. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Colombia's proud cowboy heritage.
