EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1905, offers a glimpse into the traditional process of transporting the ancient Mexican alcoholic beverage, pulque, through the rugged terrain of Mexico. The image features a tlachiquero, a traditional pulque harvester, perched atop one of the donkeys, skillfully balancing himself as he expertly taps the maguey plant to collect the fermented sap that will later become pulque. In the saddlebags and panniers of the other donkeys and mules, we see the heavy loads of pulque, carefully secured for the journey. The burros and burros, with their sturdy build and sure-footedness, were the ideal choice for transporting the heavy and valuable liquid over long distances. Pulque, a pre-Hispanic beverage, has been a significant part of Mexican culture for centuries. It is produced by tapping the sap of the maguey plant and allowing it to ferment in earthen jars. The result is a unique, slightly viscous, and slightly alcoholic beverage with a distinct taste and texture. This photograph not only showcases the traditional methods of producing and transporting pulque but also highlights the strong bond between humans and animals in rural Mexico during that era. The donkeys and mules played a crucial role in the daily lives of the people, helping to bring essential goods and services to communities that were often isolated and difficult to access. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Mexico and its people.
