This photograph turns from the church's nave to its doorways and architectural details, as the caption card's subject tags indicate. It is credited only to "Kahlo," which most likely refers to Guillermo Kahlo, the German-born photographer who documented Mexican churches and buildings in the early twentieth century. Puebla, a city east of Mexico City, is known for its Baroque churches and their glazed Talavera tiles. The card gives no date, so the photograph's exact year is unknown, but its focus on doorways and ornament reflects a long-standing interest in recording colonial religious architecture.
