EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of the Tijuana borderland between Mexico and the United States in 1919. The men and women in the image, dressed in a mix of Californian and Mexican styles, stand together at the border, their gazes fixed on the camera with a sense of pride and camaraderie. The setting is the frontier town of Tijuana, a popular destination for tourists and immigrants alike, as evidenced by the souvenirs and hats in the scene. The women wear colorful shawls and skirts, while the men don hats such as bowlers, flat caps, and sombreros. Some men hold guns, a common sight at the time, while others wear coats and suits. The border is marked by a simple sign, its Spanish text indicating the transition between the two countries. The scene exudes a sense of the Latin and Spanish influences that permeated the region during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural exchange that took place at the border during this time, as well as the complexities of the frontier between the two nations. It is a reminder of the historical significance of Tijuana and the borderlands, and the enduring connections between Mexico and the United States.
