Beschreibung
‘Álbum del ferrocarril mexicano’. Mexico 1877.
35 x 49,5 cm.
Magnificent book dedicated to the history of the construction of the railway in Mexico. Illustrated with a number views painted from life by the artist Casimiro de Castro (Tepetlaoxtoc, State of Mexico, 1826 - Mexico City, 1889), executed in chromolithography by A. Sigogne and C. Castro with a description of the road and the regions by Antonio García Cubas.
Published by Establecimiento Litográfico de Victor Debray y Cía, Mexico 1877.
As we read on the Blaisten Foundation website, in the biographical file of Casimiro de Castro, he ‘was born in Tepetlaoxtoc, State of Mexico on 24 April 1826. He was a pupil of Pedro Gualdi in the arts of drawing and lithography. In 1849 his first publication came out, in which he illustrated the "Traslación de las cenizas del libertador" (Transfer of the liberator's ashes) and from 1851 he began his graphic collaborations with "La Ilustración Mexicana", published by the renowned printer Ignacio Cumplido. "México y sus Alrededores" (Mexico and its Surroundings) was the publication that catapulted him to fame, when he became, without doubt the most famous Mexican lithographer. In 1878 he illustrated the "Album del Ferrocarril Mexicano" and a couple of years later he took over from his father-in-law as editor. The last years of his life were spent travelling around Europe taking sketches from life: urban views, monuments, squares and buildings. "Mexico and its Surroundings" was published between 1855 and 1856 in instalments for subscribers and non-subscribers, and then the forward-thinking Decaen brought them together in a single volume, which is why there are copies with different numbers of plates. The texts served as descriptive articles for the illustrations and were written by twelve people including José María Roa Bárcena, José T. Cuéllar and Francisco González Bocanegra. The most famous plates are the view of Mexico City taken from a balloon, as well as the aerial perspectives of the Alameda and the Villa de Guadalupe. Among the illustrations, "El fandango" stands out, with interesting local characters. Casimiro Castro portrayed practically all of Mexico City: the elegant façades, the poor neighbourhoods, the monuments and promenades, the canals and lakes, the baroque buildings of the late 18th century, as well as the various types of inhabitants, from the water carrier, the muleteer, the fruit seller and the porter, to the most ragged leper. He was also able to capture the changes brought about by republican austerity: the spread of the black suit, and mass-produced clothing, the result of the industrial revolution. Mexico, in short, was being transformed."
