EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Ecuador - Scenes In Quayaquil, Ecuador, 1912," is an enchanting glimpse into the past of Guayaquil, the largest city in Ecuador, located on the Pacific coast. The image was captured by the renowned photography studio, Harris & Ewing, during the early 1910s. The photograph portrays a muddy street scene in the heart of Quayaquil, showcasing a collection of houses and buildings that line the narrow, uneven road. The houses, with their distinct architectural styles, display a mix of vibrant colors and intricate details, creating a visually appealing contrast against the muddy terrain. The glass negatives of this photograph are part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, were known for their exceptional work documenting various locations around the world, including the United States. In this image, they captured the authentic essence of Quayaquil, providing a unique perspective of life in the bustling port city during the early 20th century. The muddy street, which appears to be slick and wet, adds an element of authenticity to the photograph, highlighting the everyday life of the residents. The image also showcases the city's rich history, as it was once an important trading hub for the Spanish Empire and later became a significant port city for the export of bananas and other commodities. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography in capturing history and transporting us to another time and place. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of Quayaquil and the world around us.
