EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Argentine and Chilean railways in the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Harmsworths Atlas of the World and Pictorial Gazetteer edited by J A Hamerton in 1921. The scene depicts a mythological figure standing amidst the railway tracks, symbolizing the fusion between ancient mythology and modern transportation. This juxtaposition highlights the cultural significance of these railways as they connected different regions within Argentina and Chile. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a post-World War I era, where progress was being made despite recent hardships. The 1920s were characterized by rapid industrialization, which can be seen through the development of these railway systems. Argentina's rich history is showcased through its connection to mythological characters and pagan beliefs. This representation suggests that religion played an integral role in shaping Argentine society during this time period. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century South America while also reminding us of our deep-rooted connections to mythology, religion, and progress.
