National Flag Pavement Peru Peruvian Port Sidewalk Tramline Tramlines Callao Postal Service Print Collector7
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Avenida Saenz Pena and Plaza Casanave in Callao, Peru, during the early 1900s. The image, published by Luis Sablich, showcases a vibrant cityscape filled with colorful buildings that line the port area. The scene is brought to life by the presence of people going about their daily activities on the busy pavement. Men and women can be seen strolling along the sidewalk, perhaps heading towards their destinations or engaging in conversations with fellow residents. The Peruvian national flag proudly waves above one of the buildings, symbolizing patriotism and unity. Notably, a tramline runs through this lively street, highlighting an important mode of transportation at that time. This visual reminder transports us to an era when trams were a common sight in many cities around the world. The photograph also provides insight into communication practices of that period as we notice a postal service banner hanging from one building. It serves as a reminder of how mail was delivered and received before modern technology transformed our means of communication. Overall, this remarkable print captures both historical significance and everyday life in early 20th century Callao. It stands as a testament to Peru's rich heritage while offering viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in its vibrant past.
