Casimiro Castro and His Aerial View of Mexico City, Chronicle of an Expanding City. (2019). Antropología. Revista Interdisciplinaria Del INAH, 4, 99-105. https://revistas.inah.gob.mx/index.php/antropologia/article/view/14875
Abstract
Casimiro Castro, master of nineteenth-century Mexican lithography, was the first Mexican artist to conduct his creative work from the heights of a hot air balloon. The result was an unprecedented vision of the capital. His work offers a reference point on the city’s evolution, even when his work was being republished. The aerial perspective, besides offering romantic tinges, attests to public amusements and diversion and urban regulations of those times.
