Description
Photograph of a stereograph of the bridge of Ixtacaleo, near Mexico City, Mexico, ca.1905. The canals that cut through the famous floating gardens are visible in the foreground. About twenty people are on the bridge. Several people look out over the canal at a small boat in which two fisherman ply their trade with large triangular nets. Tall trees surround the canal. Additional information: currently, the name is spelled as Iztacalco (from the Nahuatl (Aztec) language: Ixtatl -- salt, calli -- house, co -- suffix for place = "Place of the house of salt") it's one of the 16 delegaciones (boroughs) into which Mexico's Federal District is divided.
