Description
Photograph of a series of 4 views of Mexican architecture, showing various street scenes in Mexico, [s.d.]. The first scene (upper left) shows an ornate exterior of a building behind a pointed metal fence. The statue of a saint sits in an arched hole in the wall between intricate patterns, all of which stand between two extended brick panels. The second scene (upper right) shows another ornate wall by a sign that reads "H.Santin Pintor Rotulos". What appears to be the statue of a pope/cardinal(?) sits inside an ornate casing with swirled embellishments on its base. The third image (lower left) shows a two-story structure with a small balcony, while the last image (lower right) has a tall cross-topped tower in focus, beside the wall of a large building, at right. Below, a trolley passes beneath a suspended lamp, while part of a utility pole appears at left.
