Description
Photograph of the entrance to Paseo, Mexico City, Mexico, ca.1905-1910. In the foreground, a large statue of King Clarles IV of Spain (aka "El Cabalito") dominates the intersection of Paseo de la Reforma and Paseo de Bucareli. The statue was erected in 1852. It is surrounded by a tall iron spike fence in a square planted with small trees and punctuated on each corner with streetlights. Paseo de la Reforma proceeds far into the distance and is flanked with wide sidewalks and tall trees. In the background, the Christopher Columbus monument can be seen with the Cuauhtemoc
Monument behind it. In the extreme background, the Chapultepec Castle can be barely seen. A few pedestrians are visible. There are also several horse-drawn carriages in the street. Two tall pole-construction towers are visible, one at left and one at right. Additional information: "The two poles are bronze monuments commonly known as "Indios Verdes". They represent two Mexica Huey Tlatoani (from Nahuatl/Aztec language: Hueyi = high and Tlatoani = ruler, gobernor); to the right, Izcoatl (obsidian snake) and to the left, Ahuizotl (otter). Performed by the sculptor Alejandro Casarín to represent México in Paris at the Exposition Universelle, on 1889. Located for the first time, where they are seen in the picture, in 1890. They have been relocated several times" -- Dr. Jesús Roberto Duarte, 2016-01-28.
