This collection of portraiture offers a fascinating look at 19th-century Mexican studio photography.
Eleven of the photographs are signed on the verso, most dedicated to one “Celina Ricard.” Five of the photographs signed to Ricard show members of the Aguerre family, including Luis Aguerre. Aguerre was a prominent citizen of San Luis Potosi who owned a hardware store and haberdashery, and was at one point president of the chamber of commerce. There is also an interesting photograph of a man in a military costume. This image is not signed, but dated 1871 on the verso. The earliest photograph is dated 1869, and the latest 1879. One photograph has a backmark of the Guanajuato-based photo firm “Ibarra y Contreras” and two of the photographs have embossed credit stamps of the photographers,”J. Gonzalez” and “P. Gonzalez.”
The rest of the images are unidentified, but are uniformly intimate and compelling, showing groups and individuals, young and old alike.
