EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Puente Nacional, also known as the National Bridge, situated over the Antigua River in Veracruz, Mexico. The steel engraving was created by A. L. Dick in 1844, based on an English lithograph from 1828. The image transports us back to a time when this magnificent bridge served as a crucial link between the bustling port of Veracruz and Mexico City. Its sturdy arches gracefully spanned across the river, providing safe passage for travelers and their trusty steeds. As we gaze at this historic scene, we are reminded of the early days of Mexican transportation infrastructure. The landscape surrounding the bridge is breathtakingly picturesque; a rugged hill rises majestically in the background while a lone rider on horseback traverses along the road leading to Mexico City. Intriguingly, amidst this serene setting, a donkey can be seen carrying its load up a steep cliffside path—perhaps symbolizing both resilience and resourcefulness that were characteristic of life during that era. This remarkable piece captures not only an architectural marvel but also offers us glimpses into daily life in Latin America during this period. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to connect distant places through engineering feats like Puente Nacional—a true gem preserved within Granger Art's Carousel Collection.
