EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Veracruz, Mexico,' was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1914 and 1917. The image presents a captivating scene of the bustling port city of Veracruz, located on the Gulf of Mexico in Mexico. The photograph showcases the industrial might of the era, with numerous ships anchored in the harbor, loading and unloading their cargo. The city's fortress-like buildings, including the imposing structure bearing the American flag, underscore the strategic importance of the port during this time. The image is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Mexico and the United States during the early 20th century. The American flag proudly flies high, symbolizing the strong commercial ties between the two countries. The photograph also captures the unique architectural blend of European and Mexican influences, with ornate buildings and winding streets. This photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 250,000 glass negatives, provides a fascinating glimpse into American history during the 20th century. The photograph was likely taken by one of the studio's skilled photographers, such as George W. Harris or Martha Ewing Kuntze, who were known for their ability to capture the essence of their subjects with precision and artistry. The photograph's glass negative preserves the intricate details of the scene, from the stars and stripes of the American flag to the individual planks of the ships' hulls. This enduring image is a reminder of the complex and dynamic relationship between Mexico and the United States during a pivotal period in their shared history.
