EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of New Mexico residents in 1890. The image showcases an engraving after drawings made by Charles Graham, capturing the essence of this vibrant American state. In the foreground, we see a woman adorned with a traditional headdress, representing the rich cultural heritage of New Mexican communities. She stands alongside a donkey carrying various goods on its back—a common sight during that time when pack animals were essential for transportation across rugged terrains. To her right is a young girl dressed in simple attire, perhaps her daughter or sister. They both stand near an adobe church, symbolizing the strong influence of Spanish colonial architecture in this region. The background reveals an intricate irrigation system that played a crucial role in sustaining agriculture and supporting livelihoods amidst arid landscapes. This depiction highlights how resourceful and resilient these early settlers had to be to thrive in such challenging conditions. Overall, this print serves as a historical testament to the diverse tapestry of daily life experiences within New Mexico's southwest region during this era. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating the unique customs and traditions that have shaped this remarkable corner of America.
