Old Acqueduct, Queretaro, Mexico, between 1880 and 1897: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, titled 'Old Acqueduct, Queretaro, Mexico,' was captured by the renowned American photographer William H. Jackson between 1880 and 1897. The image, measuring 8 x 10 inches, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of this historic Mexican city. The photograph depicts a section of the old aqueduct that once supplied water to Queretaro. The aqueduct, an engineering marvel of its time, is shown with the backdrop of a railway scene. A locomotive and several railway carriages are visible in the foreground, with an engine driver and other railway workers in the compartments. The dry plate negative technique used by Jackson has captured the intricate details of the scene, from the textures of the aqueduct's bricks to the wrinkles on the faces of the men. The photograph is a testament to the intersection of two significant modes of transportation during the nineteenth century - water and railways. Queretaro, a city in central Mexico, was an important hub for both, and this image encapsulates the essence of its rich heritage. The photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, a repository of the world's knowledge. It is a reminder of the past, a historical document, and a work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue. The Old Acqueduct of Queretaro, as captured by William H. Jackson, is a symbol of the past, a testament to human ingenuity, and a reminder of the passage of time.
