EDITORS COMMENTS
This photomechanical print, titled 'The Tree of Noche Triste, Popotla, between 1884 and 1900,' is an enduring testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico. Captured by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson, this image transports us back in time to a small Mexican neighborhood nestled between Mexico City and the Pacific Ocean. The central figure of this panoramic scene is the legendary cypress tree, known as the Tree of Noche Triste, which stands proudly against the backdrop of a quaint, colorful village. The tree holds deep significance in Mexican folklore, as it is said to mark the spot where Hernán Cortés and his Spanish conquistadors encountered the Aztec army in 1520 during the tragic Battle of Noche Triste. The image is filled with vibrant hues and intriguing details, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the residents of Popotla during the late 19th century. The church in the foreground, with its red tile roof and whitewashed walls, is a testament to the strong influence of Christianity on Mexican culture. The background is populated with people going about their daily routines, adding depth and life to the scene. This photograph, part of the Edwin H. Husband Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on Mexico's past. The letterbox format, which was popular during the 19th century, enhances the sense of depth and scale, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on Mexican history, folklore, or the art of photography.
