Fountain Salto del Agua, Mexico

  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    If you zoom in, you´ll see the Coat of Arms of Catholic Kings (Ferdinand II of Aragon and Elizabeth I of Castille) with its St. John's (one-head) Eagle as a support . At both flanks of the eagle are the twisted Collumns of Hercules, which appear (not twisted) in the Coat of Arms of Charles I (V). The shield itself shows the Coat of Arms bestowed by Charles to Mexico City. Que tengan por sus Armas conocidas un escudo, azul, de color de Agua, en señal de la Gran Laguna, en, que la dicha Ciudad esta edificada, y un Castillo, dorado, en medio, y tres Puentes de Piedra de canteria, y en que van a dar en el dicho castillo, las dos, sin Ilegar a él, en cada una de las dichas dos Puentes, que han de estar a los la-dos, un León Rampante, que hazga con la uñas en dicho castillo, de manera, que tengan los pies, en la puente, y los brazos en el castillo, en señal, de la Victoria, que en ella hubieron los dichos, Cristianos, y por la Orla, Diez hojas de Tuna, verdes, con sus abrojos, que nacen, en la dicha Provincia en Campo Dorado; en un Escudo a tal como éste, las cuales Armas y Divisa, damos a la dicha Ciudad, por sus Armas conocidas, por las que podáis traer, poner, e trayais, é pongais, en los Pendones, y Sellos, y Escudos, y Banderas, de ella, y en otras partes, donde quisiederes, y fueren menester; e según e como e de la forma y manera, que las traen, y ponen las otras ciudades, de estos dichos nuestros Reinos de Castilla, a quien tenemos dado armas...

    This picture was most likely taken between February 9 and 18, during the ten tragic days (Decena Trágica), When Felix Díaz and his supporters (felicistas) uprised against President Madero who eventualy was overthrown by Huerta and murdered on February 22, 1913. The artillery men are federals defending National Palace (and Madero). Click on archives.getty.edu/R/HI3CH8LEP7XCCUSLL49JT6CAEUJFE279UDT3... to see a panoramic version of this scene.
