EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1899 and 1928, transports us back in time to the American Southwest during the early 20th century. The image showcases a vibrant scene of a bustling marketplace, filled with various shops and stalls displaying an array of goods. At the heart of the scene, a church with a distinctive belfry and bell tower stands proudly, its religious significance a reminder of the strong connection between faith and community during this era. Surrounding the church, an assortment of shops entice passersby with their wares. A sign for the "Travis Club" suggests a social gathering place, while "Homade Ice Cream" promises a refreshing treat on a hot day. "Cigar made by Finck" invites smokers to indulge in a premium handcrafted cigar, and "Plate Lunch" and "Hamburgers, Tamales, Coffee" indicate the availability of hearty meals. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the American Southwest during this period, showcasing the unique blend of commerce, religion, and community that defined the region. Taken as a nitrate negative, this image from the Arnold Genthe collection at the Library of Congress is a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of American life during the 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s.
