EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Palace from the Cathedral, city of Mexico' was taken between 1880 and 1897, showcasing a breathtaking view of Mexico City's iconic landmarks. The image depicts the grandiose Palacio Nacional, or National Palace, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Metropolitan Cathedral. During this period, Mexico was undergoing significant transformation, transitioning from the Porfiriato era to the Mexican Revolution. The photograph captures the city in a moment of tranquility, with the Palace's ornate facade reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Mexico's past. The Palacio Nacional, located in the historic center of Mexico City, was originally built as the Aztec sacred lake Xochimilco's main temple, Tenochtitlan. Later, it served as the seat of Spanish colonial rule and, eventually, the Mexican government. The Cathedral, which can be seen in the background, is the oldest and most important religious building in Mexico City, having been constructed between 1573 and 1813. This photograph, captured on a dry plate glass 8 x 10 inch negative, offers a unique glimpse into Mexico City's history and architectural beauty. The image is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring allure of Mexico's vibrant past.
