EDITORS COMMENTS
Bird's Eye View of Mexico City, 1911" is an evocative photograph capturing the vibrant energy and dynamic urban landscape of Mexico City during the early 20th century. Taken by renowned American photographers Harris & Ewing, this image offers a unique perspective of the bustling metropolis, showcasing its intricate network of roads, trams, and streetcars that crisscrossed the city. The photograph reveals a city in transition, with traditional adobe structures intermingling with modern buildings and infrastructure. The iconic Zocalo, or main square, is visible in the lower right corner, surrounded by the imposing edifice of the National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral. The grand avenues, lined with trees and teeming with activity, bear testament to the city's rich history and its emergence as a major cultural and economic hub. Mexico City, then known as Tenochtitlan, has a storied past, having been the Aztec capital before the Spanish conquest. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the city's complex and layered history, as well as its enduring resilience and adaptability. This image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the rich tapestry of Mexico City's history and its continued evolution as a dynamic and vibrant urban center. The photograph was taken during a pivotal time in Mexico's history, as the country was undergoing significant political and social changes following the Mexican Revolution. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, captured the essence of this transformative period, offering a valuable historical record for generations to come.
