About this work

This print shows two views inside big public buildings in Mexico. It was made around 1854 by Casimiro Castro. Prints like this were made to share images of far-off places. You can still see details of the architecture and how people used the spaces. These images help us picture life in Mexico in the 1800s. They also show how prints spread ideas in that time. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like these.
