EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Cathedral in Mexico City, taken around 1897. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. Built over a span of more than two centuries from 1573 to 1813, the Cathedral stands on the site where the Templo Mayor once stood - a sacred Aztec city. Claudio de Arciniega, an esteemed architect of his time, contributed original designs to this awe-inspiring structure. The image is featured in "A Tour Through the New World America" authored by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in approximately 1897. It offers a glimpse into Mexico's rich architectural heritage during the colonial era. The Cathedral's baroque facade exudes grandeur and decorative details that reflect both Spanish influence and Christian symbolism. Its presence dominates Plaza de la Constitucion (also known as Zocalo), serving as a testament to Mexico's deep-rooted religious traditions. As we admire this monochrome photograph captured during daylight hours, we are transported back to the nineteenth century when Mexico was still emerging as a country with its own unique identity amidst colonialism and cultural blending between Spain and Central America. This print serves as a window into history, inviting us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also the profound impact of religion on Mexican society at that time.
