.
many times we worry about the details, we lose sight of the whole, and that's where the answers to the problem of the details.
life and work of Mexican and foreign photographers involved in the hazardous years of the Mexican revolution, is so little known, often nearly forgotten, that focus on the details, like a picture or other documents, terms for giving results with myopia. We must move away to receive the joint and from there return.
In this case, all the records conform Artistic and Literary Property, and the protected rights of Gutierrez HJ. Previously published: "HJ
Gutierrez, Artistic and Literary Property, May 11, 1911 " where realize how involved the 16 images were made a year before 1910.
The second group of records is done on 22 May 1911, with 15 images ranging from the number assigned by the author of 17 to 31. The first thing to differentiate with respect to other records in Artistic and Literary Property, is the duplicity of them. We do not refer to the copy guard remained in the Ministry of Education, and National University, but two parallel records.
SINAFER, inventory number 373999, postal n º 31. The first record is documented with pictures with registration number, ranging from 1292 to 1306, the General Archive of the Nation retains the 15 postal foliated, although in the register published in the Bulletin of Public Instruction, all are assigned a label, copies of the AGN is not well, just are numbered with lyrics Palmer from 17 to 31. From the same series, the collection protected in the Casasola archive contains 11 copies but without leaves. Might assume that Augustine V. Casasola collected at some point the 15 images.
No 26. Vanguard entering C. Juárez. Gutierrez picture is Prop. HJ. M. Mexico Retes, A. C. Escobar File. The second set is exactly the same, same number of postcards, from 17 to 31, but with record labels and given to "HJ Gutiérrez M. Retes. " The AGN 4 images preserved in archive Aurelio Escobar Castellanos was 6 again, and fortunately several of which can have 10 pictures in the series.
Apparently all the pictures correspond to the afternoon of May 10, 1911, the day of the capture of Ciudad Juárez and Madero troops. But do not appear arranged in a strictly chronological. Let
details, other pictures are recorded on 22 May, we can expect at least these came to Mexico City the day before the 21.
If the operator of the same was Aurelio Escobar C., the could send an assistant or take them personally. To clarify the point we have two data, there is an absence of photographs, "HJ Gutiérrez" or "A. Escobar signing treaties marked Juárez on May 21 ... A. Escobar portrays the crowd outside the Chamber of Deputies waiting for the resignation of President Diaz on May 25. A. It was
Escobar carrier images, and can give us another clue to why the first recorded photographs are not labeled, the record was done very hastily, could even think of your material on the same day 22.
The days of the end of May 1911 were a hive of information, feelings, and action for both reporters and photographers. Aurelio was just no hurry to deliver their precious cargo, was delayed ...
Why do we say this?
In the next set of records, from June 2, 1911, there are 7 images in three groups: Pictures No. 32 and 33, are portraits of Francisco León de la Barra, the day of his inauguration as interim president, 26 May, the following two n º 34 and 35 are the 25th, Diaz's resignation, and the last three are related to General Gabriel M. Hernández.
For the June 2, Aurelio Escobar was somewhere between City Juarez and Piedras Negras, on June 1 saw the departure of Francisco I. Madero at Ciudad Juárez, then had to leave Mexico City between 28 and 29 May, and Gen. Hernandez was in Pachuca, Hidalgo ...
Gen. Gabriel Hernandez Flores Nicolás Rubio company had taken no resistance from the town of Tulancingo May 15, 16 takes control of Pachuca, and acting as substitute governor Ladislao Pedro Rodriguez to Mr. Joaquin Gonzalez, 21 May. (1)
There are two likely scenarios to portray Gen. Hernandez, the first May 21 or before, the second between 27 and 28 May I bow to the first.
The significance of the fall of the city of Pachuca in the hands of the timber, for its proximity to Mexico City, and dismissal of the governor of Hidalgo, even before the resignation of General Diaz, was an event meriting a stopover. Also between 27 and 28 May, Aurelio Escobar, probably visited Cuernavaca ...
other hand through his photographs in Ciudad Juárez, Aurelio Escobar attests to the presence of the filmmaker Antonio F. Ocañas, according to Miguel Angel Berumen in "1911, The Battle of Ciudad Juárez / II. Images, "Ocañas could have finished his work around the 15th of May, as for 18 was back in Mexico City. Escobar therefore also returned to Mexico City on a similar date, May 18 ...
Let another detail, January 30, 2009 in a small note: "Ten Tragic
, Gutiérrez-Retes. "mention the relationship between the characters Heliodoro J. Miguel Gutierrez and Retes, delve more about Retes.
The Printing and Stereotyping of Retes, Recreation Street No. 45, Mazatlan, Sinaloa, was the old printing press founded in 1861 by Don Pablo Retes, and inherited by his son Michael in 1884, place of birth of Mazatlan newspaper "The Evening Mail ", with a wide reputation secured for 1900, both economic and editorial for its superb quality.
Miguel who was ruler of Mazatlan's constitutional council in 1877, 1883 and 1884, for 1897 provides newspaper, printing and stationery to the corporation organized under the name: Printing and Publishing House Retes Miguel y Cia. Mazatlán, Sin., With a declared capital of 22,000.00 pesos. (2) Nayarit
appears also in a newspaper, the first state of "Lucifer", 1884, published in the press of Don José M. Retes. (3)
The editor landlord could claim to have one of the workshops better equipped to Mexico, the duration is short-lived company replaced in 1898 by another involving Damy Eugenio Miguel Retes and others, where the capital had risen to 42,459.75 pesos. Both the press and the newspaper are sold in 1905 and Francisco Avendaño Andres Valadés. (4)
The economic and political dominance Miguel Retes in his home state, would be in the group of distinguished Porfiristas they would take sides with the reyismo, and the opposition candidate for governor of the state of Sinaloa Jose Ferrel, 1909 . Ferrel was nominated by the Democratic Club that was formed Sinaloa Mazatlan and was comprised of journalists Francisco Valadés and Heriberto Frías, Damaso Soto, Miguel and Andres Abendaño Retes.
Ferrel would be defeated through fraud imposed by the system, despite having majority support.
Evening Courier, and under the direction of Heriberto Frías, will have direct contact with Francisco I. Madero, allowing the publication of their manifestos and proclamations. Madero Sinaloa visit in November 1909 seeking the support of the leadership Ferrel. The Courier afternoon had become one of the most important newspapers outside the city of Mexico for various technical reasons, since 1892 was considered a worthy competitor to the best United States, and the most modern of northwestern Mexico. One feature that makes it even more special in relation to other organs of the press at the time, your position is critical of the rulers in general, with the exception of Porfirio Díaz.
detachment by Miguel Retes the newspaper El Correo de la Tarde, not away from the smell of ink, following the publication of books in Mazatlan Printing and Publishing House Company Miguel Retes and Successors. Which we find a place in Mexico City in the alley of the Holy Spirit 6, the press later moved to the streets of Isabela Catolica. How
we understand the relationship Gutiérrez-Retes, pragmatic union to do business ... the economy class would give a lesson Sinaloa pragmatism similar to the Mexican republic, not only to feed the revolutionary machinery, especially since 1913, but for increase their profitable businesses during the conflict. Miguel
Retes was not merely a pragmatic man, so was political commitment, working and investing in time for timber once the reyismo stopped being a viable option.
Is the relationship Gutiérrez-Retes a sign of economic pragmatism and political commitment? In
If so we could better understand the prevalence of home photo "HJ Gutiérrez" during the Madero revolution and during the subsequent government. And Aurelio Escobar Castellanos exile during the dictatorship of General Victoriano Huerta.
Colophon.
On May 12, 1911, Miguel Retes artistic property recorded in the following cards: No. 1. Projection of the shadow of Francisco I. Madero. 2. Projection of the shadow of General Porfirio Díaz. ,, 3. Projection of the shadow of Don Benito ...
