Visual Materials
Photograph album with various snapshots chiefly documenting a trip to Mexico by Los Angeles, California, resident Charles A. Finlayson around 1930, including images of buildings and streets in Mexico City, a visit to a park with deer, buildings under construction, the canals of Xochimilco, and Aztec ruins at Teotihuacan, as well as images, presumably, of Finlayson. Throughout the album, there are also images of the derailment of a locomotive and train cars, presumably of the National Railroad of Mexico, which were carrying military cannons, with photographs of executed men who had been hanged from utility poles along the tracks.
