EDITORS COMMENTS
Puebla, Mexico, 1849: A Captivating Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph, titled 'Puebla,' transports us back in time to the 19th century and the beautiful landscape of Puebla, Mexico. The image, taken from John Frost's 'Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War,' published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. in Philadelphia, offers a captivating view of the town nestled at the foot of two majestic volcanoes. The two volcanoes, Ixtaccihuatl and Popocatepetl, dominate the background of the photograph, their snow-capped peaks reaching towards the heavens. Ixtaccihuatl, the feminine volcano, is depicted to the left, while Popocatepetl, the masculine one, is on the right. The duality of these volcanoes, revered by the indigenous people as the embodiment of the ancient gods Xochipilli and Piltzintecuhtli, adds to the mystical allure of the scene. The town of Puebla, the capital city of Puebla State, lies at the base of these volcanic giants. Its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls contrast sharply against the dark, rugged terrain of the mountains, creating a striking visual harmony. The town's vibrant colors and layout suggest a thriving community, with narrow streets and bustling marketplaces. This photograph, a testament to the rich history and natural beauty of Mexico, invites us to explore the past and imagine the stories of the people who once called this place home. As a tourist attraction, it continues to draw visitors from around the world, who seek to experience the charm and allure of Puebla and its breathtaking volcanic landscape.
