EDITORS COMMENTS
William H. Jackson's captivating photograph, titled "Mexico, Popocatapetl from Amecameca," transports us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a breathtaking view of the active volcano, Popocatapetl, as seen from Amecameca, Mexico. The image, taken between 1884 and 1900, showcases the snow-capped peak of the volcano towering over the surrounding farmland and fields. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the volcanic power and energy that lies beneath. The photograph is a testament to the rich geographical heritage of Mexico and Central America, and the beauty of its natural landscapes. The distant rooftops of Amecameca add a sense of scale and depth to the image, while the clear skies and crisp air suggest a serene and idyllic setting. William H. Jackson was an American photographer, known for his stunning photomechanical prints produced by Detroit Publishing Company. His work was widely distributed through their "Country Life in America" series, which captured the scenic beauty of America and other parts of the world. This particular photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Mexico as a travel destination and the importance of preserving historical records of our natural and cultural heritage. The photograph invites us to imagine the journey of travelers who once gazed upon this very scene, marveling at the majesty of the volcano and the beauty of the land that lay before them.
