EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mexico, The Cathedral, City of Mexico" and taken by American photographer William H. Jackson in approximately 1899, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Mexico City during the late 19th century. The image showcases the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary into Heavens, a prominent Catholic landmark and cultural icon of Mexico. The photograph, hand-coloured or hand-tinted, showcases the intricate facade of the cathedral, adorned with intricate Gothic architectural details. The building's facade, with its towering arches and ornate carvings, is a testament to the enduring influence of European colonialism on Mexican architecture. The photograph also reveals the lush greenery of the garden surrounding the cathedral, adding a touch of natural beauty to the urban landscape. The Metropolitan Cathedral, located in the heart of Mexico City, is a symbol of Mexico's deep-rooted Catholic heritage and the country's complex history. The cathedral, which was built between 1573 and 1813, has undergone numerous renovations and restorations over the centuries, making it a living testament to Mexico's rich cultural heritage. This photograph, part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, provides a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic building and the city it calls home. William H. Jackson, a prolific American photographer, captured this image as part of his extensive documentation of the world around him, leaving us with a valuable record of Mexico City's architectural and cultural history.
