Man in Yucatan, 1830s

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Man in Yucatan, 1830s, illustration by Jean-Frédéric Waldeck.

Original caption "Indien contrebandier de l'interieur" (Indian Smuggler from the Interior)

Period English language description:
It is the general costume of all the Indians of Yucatan, without distinction. We see that men are not as pretty as women. The cotton stuffs from which they make their clothes are made in the country itself and are of excellent quality, which makes them last a very long time. A shirt and trousers are worn for two years, provided there is a spare. Well-to-do Indians only keep the palm hat for six months. The sandals (apargates) have from one to four soles, and they only use them on stony paths; usually they hang them around their necks or carry them in their hands. The basket (petaquillo) is made of palm braids; it can be closed, and contains the linen of the Indian and his wife, or merchandise, if he engages in smuggling.

The building that can be seen in the background of the image, on the left, is the prison, located in the public square. The one on the right is the governor's palace.
