EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Calle Divorciadas, Lima, Peru (circa 1910) Calle Divorciadas, a historic street in Lima, Peru, is captured in this evocative photograph from the early 20th century. The image, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a fascinating window into the daily life and culture of this South American city during a bygone era. The scene unfolds on a bustling street lined with low, colorful buildings, their facades adorned with intricate wrought-iron balconies and vibrant flowers. The cobblestone road is filled with activity: horse-drawn carts and carriages jostle for space alongside pedestrians, while vendors hawk their wares from makeshift stalls. In the foreground, a group of women clad in traditional Peruvian attire – long, flowing skirts and shawls – gather around a table, deep in conversation. Their animated expressions and the laughter that carries through the air suggest a lively exchange of news or gossip. Nearby, a young boy, dressed in simple clothes, looks on curiously, his eyes wide with wonder at the goings-on around him. The atmosphere is one of warmth and community, as people from all walks of life come together to share in the rich tapestry of life on Calle Divorciadas. The sun casts dappled shadows across the scene, adding depth and texture to the image, while the clear blue sky overhead hints at the bright, sunny days that characterize Lima's climate. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to explore the history and culture of Lima and Peru through the lens of everyday life on Calle Divorciadas. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the people who have called this vibrant city home for generations.
