EDITORS COMMENTS
Na Rafaela; A zigzag journey through Mexico, 1875. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th century Mexico, as captured by Thomas Mayne Reid. The image showcases a local Mexican woman named Na Rafaela, proudly donning her traditional dress and robe. With bare feet gracefully planted on the ground, Na Rafaela stands tall in her full-length attire, showcasing the intricate details of her clothing. Her dress is adorned with a mesmerizing Greek key pattern that adds an element of elegance to her ensemble. In one hand, she holds a water jar - an essential tool for daily life in this vibrant country. Reid's photograph beautifully captures not only Na Rafaela's striking appearance but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of indigenous people in Mexico during this era. It serves as a testament to their resilience and pride in preserving their traditions amidst changing times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880s, we are transported back to a time when occupation was intertwined with identity and fashion was more than just clothes – it was an expression of history and belonging. This print serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation that allows us to appreciate the beauty of diversity while honoring those who came before us.
