W. C. White photograph album of road trip through Mexico City
Visual Materials
Photographs of an early automobile tour of Mexico City and vicinity, taken in April, 1906, approximately four years before the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution. The traveler, most likely an American, photographed his automobile in many locations, often where burros or horse wagons are mostly seen on the road. A woman is seen in the passenger seat sometimes, and possibly another car is part of the touring group. Images include stops at historic buildings, landmarks, street scenes, and the "Noche Triste Tree" in Mexico City; old Spanish architecture in Lerma; and travel through the countryside to Toluca. Local residents appear throughout, including men gathering water at a cistern, a woman washing clothes outside her house, and people at a Mexican National Railway train station. There are three images identified as "General Gonzales, Governor of the State of Mexico," riding in a car with other officials. Handwriting inside the album's cover identifies it as "W. C. White's pictures - Mexican trip, April 1906," and there are detailed captions throughout.
