EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the 1920s, we witness a scene of everyday life in Barranquilla, Colombia, Central America. The image captures a moment in time when water was still sold and transported through the streets on the backs of donkeys. The water sellers, dressed in traditional attire, are shown expertly maneuvering their animals through the bustling city streets, each carrying barrels filled with fresh water. The scene is a vibrant display of the diverse racial types that coexisted in Barranquilla during this era. Boys and children watch curiously as the sellers go about their daily trade, their faces expressing a mix of wonder and anticipation. The water sellers, with their strong and determined expressions, embody the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Barranquilla. The use of donkeys as a mode of transportation was a common practice in many Latin American cities during the early 20th century. The animals were a practical solution to the lack of modern infrastructure for transporting goods, especially in remote areas where roads were poorly developed. The water sellers on donkeys were a familiar sight in the streets of Barranquilla, providing an essential service to the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple act of selling water on the back of a donkey was an important part of daily life. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of Barranquilla and Central America.
