EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating photographic postcard from 1919, this image showcases a young Mexican Indian girl from the borough of Xochimilco, located within the Mexican Federal District and 17 miles south of Mexico City. The name Xochimilco, meaning "flower field place," is derived from the Nahuatl language and reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of this indigenous community. The girl, adorned in traditional attire, wears sandals and carries her even younger brother on her back in a shawl sling. She casually chews on a piece of white cord or string, a common practice among the indigenous people of the region. The population of Xochimilco was predominantly made up of indigenous peoples, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives and traditions. Xochimilco is known for its historical significance and is home to several ancient structures, including the Temple of Xochimilco and the Floating Gardens. The area is also famous for its chinampas, or artificial islands, which were used for agriculture and have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This delightful photograph transports us back in time, offering a window into the lives of the indigenous people of Xochimilco during the early 20th century. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Mexico and its people.
