EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing the remarkable Old San Hipolito Convent in Mexico City. The convent, founded by Hernan Cortes and his companions, stands as a testament to the colonial era and its architectural grandeur. Its baroque design is beautifully captured in this image, highlighting intricate details that have withstood the test of time. The photograph exudes a sense of history and tranquility as it portrays the convent's courtyard adorned with lush plants. A drinking fountain graces the scene, offering respite for those seeking solace within these sacred walls. The neo-classical elements add an additional layer of elegance to this historic landmark. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a different era - one where religion played a significant role in society. The Old San Hipolito Convent served not only as a place of worship but also as a hospital for those in need. Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell immortalized this architectural gem through his book "A Tour Through the New World America" allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This photograph serves as both art and documentation, preserving our connection to Mexican history and culture. Let us cherish this glimpse into Mexico's past; let us honor its rich heritage embodied by places like the Old San Hipolito Convent – an enduring symbol of faith, architecture, and human ingenuity from centuries gone by.
