The Alameda of Mexico, taken from a balloon
Artista: Casimiro Castro
Siglo XIX · México
Colección: Casimiro Castro
Lithographic print offering a panoramic aerial view of the Alameda of Mexico, captured from a hot air balloon. The densely wooded central park features winding paths, a fountain, and strolling human figures. On its flanks, streets lined with buildings of colonial and neoclassical architecture extend, with carriages and passersby. In the background, the landscape opens to cultivated fields and a mountain range under a clear sky, with the balloon that served as the observation platform floating in the distance.
