EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic heart of Guadalajara, Mexico, as it appeared in the late 19th century. The Plaza, now known as the Guadalajara Cathedral Square, is a vibrant and bustling hub of activity, but in this image from 1875, it is a tranquil and picturesque scene. The central figure of the image is the magnificent Guadalajara Cathedral, its neoclassical façade bathed in sunlight and its towering spires reaching towards the clear blue sky. Surrounding the cathedral are the low-slung buildings of the plaza, their red-tiled roofs and wrought-iron balconies creating a charming and colorful backdrop. The Plaza, or Zocalo, has been the heart of Guadalajara since the city's founding in 1542. It has been the site of important historical events, including the declaration of the Mexican Republic in 1821 and the coronation of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla as the first president of the republic. The plaza has also been a gathering place for the people of Guadalajara, a place to socialize, celebrate, and connect with their community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation and the plaza was a peaceful oasis in the midst of a bustling city. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Guadalajara in the late 19th century, and to appreciate the rich history and cultural heritage of this beautiful city in Mexico.
