EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the hacienda of Chapingo in Mexico, as it appeared in 1828. The hacienda system was a significant aspect of Mexican history, with large estates owned by the elite, worked by indigenous and mestizo peasants. This print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a hacienda during the early 19th century. The photo shows a grand, two-story hacienda, surrounded by lush greenery and farmland. The central building, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, exudes an air of colonial elegance. The extensive grounds include various outbuildings, such as barns, stables, and worker's quarters. In the foreground, a group of men and women, dressed in traditional clothing, are engaged in agricultural activities. They are likely working the land, tending to the crops or livestock. The hacienda system played a crucial role in Mexican society and economy, producing a range of crops, including corn, beans, wheat, and sugarcane. However, it was also a source of exploitation, with peasants often working long hours under harsh conditions, with little pay or land of their own. This image offers a snapshot of a bygone era, providing valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural history of Mexico during the early 19th century.
