The particular subject here is a market in Veracruz, with pottery as the featured goods, which sets it apart from the many street and workplace scenes on this board. The photograph belongs to the Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection, assembled by the husband-and-wife writers and travelers who documented daily life across the world for American readers in the early twentieth century. Its copyright credit to C.B. Waite of Mexico City points to the commercial photographers who sold views of Mexican towns and trades to tourists and publishers around 1890 to 1923. Market scenes like this one preserve how vendors arranged clay wares for sale in a busy port city during the years before the Mexican Revolution reshaped its economy and society.
