EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Palms and straw houses at Rascon," was captured by American photographer William H. Jackson between 1880 and 1897. The image depicts a scenic rural scene in Rascon, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. In the foreground, several palm trees sway gently, their fronds casting dappled shadows on the ground. Behind them, a group of thatched-roof huts made of straw and mud are clustered together, their whitewashed walls glowing in the sunlight. Men and horses are visible in the background, tending to their animals or going about their daily tasks. The photograph was taken during the dry plate negative process, a popular photographic technique of the time. The scene exudes a sense of rustic charm and simplicity, providing a glimpse into the rural life of the late 19th century. The palm trees, a distinct feature of the Mexican landscape, add a tropical touch to the image, while the straw huts reflect the region's unique architectural heritage. The photograph also showcases the close relationship between people and animals in this rural community, with horses tethered near the houses. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and offers insight into the daily life and living conditions of people in rural Mexico during the late 19th century. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
