EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1899 and 1926 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the unique charm of two distinct Central American countries: Cuba and Guatemala. In this image, we find ourselves outside a beautiful church in Guatemala, where women and children don colorful traditional attire, their bare feet resting on the dusty ground. The ornate plasterwork decoration of the church facade stands in stark contrast to the simple, yet vibrant clothing of the locals. The 1900s, specifically the 1910s and 1920s, were a time of significant cultural change in both Cuba and Guatemala. Yet, in this photograph, we are transported back to an era where traditional practices and clothing continued to thrive. The women wear huipils, intricately designed blouses that are a hallmark of Guatemalan indigenous fashion. The children, dressed in simple white shirts and pants, playfully interact with their mothers, their bare feet revealing their connection to the earth. The black and white nitrate negative captures the essence of this scene, highlighting the textures of the church's plasterwork and the delicate patterns of the huipiles. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of these two countries, a heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. Arnold Genthe's Travel views of Cuba and Guatemala collection, housed in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of these countries during a time of great transformation.
