Silver print
Image 11 1/8 in x 13 3/4 in; mount 17 in x 20 in / image 28.3 x 34.9 cm; mount 43.2 x 50.8 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Denver, PA
This 1915 silver print shows a mounted figure posed in front of an adobe building during the period of the Mexican Revolution. The image reflects the visual culture of revolutionary-era Mexico, when mounted men, rural architecture, and regional dress became part of the photographic record of the period. The subject is presented in a calm, formal pose rather than as an action scene.
The large mounted format gives the photograph a stronger presence than a smaller snapshot or postcard image. Details such as the horse, saddle, hat, doorway, and adobe setting help place the photograph within a rural Mexican context. As a 1915 image, it fits within Mexican Revolution material, post-Columbian Mexico, and early twentieth-century documentary photography.
