Cortez Palace at Coyoacan, between 1880 and 1897: A Window into Mexico's Colonial Past This photograph, titled 'Cortez Palace at Coyoacan,' captures the historic Cortez Palace, also known as the Casa de Cortes or Antiguo Palacio de Hernan Cortes, located in the vibrant district of Coyoacan in Mexico City, Mexico. The image, taken between 1880 and 1897 by American photographer William H. Jackson, offers a glimpse into Mexico's rich colonial history. The Cortez Palace, a significant heritage site, is adorned with intricate architectural details, including ornate doors, arches, and glass windows. The building's facade displays the signs 'Salon de Sessiones' and 'Antiguo palacio de Hernan Cortes,' highlighting its historical significance. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was taken using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, a popular photographic technique during the late 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene of background people, adding a sense of life and activity to the historic setting. William H. Jackson, an American photographer, captured this image during a time when Mexico was undergoing significant changes, transitioning from colonial rule to modernization. The photograph serves as a reminder of the country's rich heritage and the enduring influence of its colonial past. This photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical value and importance in documenting Mexico's architectural and cultural history. The Cortez Palace at Coyoacan remains a popular tourist destination and a source of pride for the people of Mexico, who continue to celebrate their country's rich and complex history.
