EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, showcases a scenic view of Military Road in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The image, of unknown origin and creator, depicts a bustling street scene filled with a diverse array of people and pack animals. In the foreground, a rider is seen riding towards the viewer, while in the background, the road winds through lush greenery, with palm trees and other plants lining the sides. The dry plate or glass negative process, a common photographic technique during the early 1900s, adds to the vintage charm of the image. Military Road, also known as Calle Militar, was a significant thoroughfare in San Juan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It connected the city's Old San Juan district with the newer areas of Santurce and Miramar. The road was named due to its historical significance as the primary route used by the Spanish military to transport supplies and troops between the fortifications of Old San Juan and the outlying forts. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of San Juan during this period, with people going about their business, pack animals carrying goods, and the natural beauty of the landscape on display. The image is a valuable historical record of Puerto Rico's rich heritage and the evolution of its urban landscape.
