EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and bustling street scene of Tijuana, Mexico, in the year 1915. The image, titled "Street scene with excursionists, shops and post office, Tia Juana (Tijuana), Mexico," offers a glimpse into the past of this historic Latin American city located in the northern part of Mexico and a popular destination for American tourists during the 1910s. The photograph showcases a lively street filled with various shops and stores, each with unique offerings for travelers. The architecture of the buildings is a mix of traditional Mexican styles and influences from the United States, reflecting the cultural exchange that took place during this era. In the foreground, several horse-drawn charabancs, or touring vehicles, are parked, waiting to transport excursionists around the city. The passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen disembarking, adding to the bustle of the scene. The post office, prominently displayed in the photograph, flies the Mexican flag, symbolizing the country's sovereignty and independence. The flags of the United States can also be seen on some of the buildings, reflecting the close proximity and cultural ties between the two countries. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Tijuana and the travel and leisure industry during the early 20th century. It captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that drew Americans to this exotic and intriguing destination, making it a valuable historical document.
