EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Ecuador - Scenes In Quayaquil, Ecuador, 1912," captures the vibrant and bustling streets of Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador. The image, created by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the daily life of this coastal city during the early 20th century. In the heart of the scene, a pig is tethered to a wooden cart, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The pig, with its alert eyes and curled snout, seems unfazed by the attention it is receiving. The cart, piled high with various goods, is a common mode of transportation in the city. The photograph also showcases the diverse population of Quayaquil, with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds going about their daily business. The buildings in the background, with their ornate facades and wrought-iron balconies, reflect the European influence on the city's architecture. The photograph was taken during the era of glass negatives, and the high contrast and sharp detail reveal the skill and artistry of the Harris & Ewing photographers. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the history and culture of Quayaquil and Ecuador during a time when the country was undergoing significant political and social changes. It is a reminder of the rich heritage and diversity that continues to define this vibrant and dynamic city.
