This photo matches with another Bains News picture entitled "federal barricade captured by insurrectos". They show the same place. Taken on Lerdo avenue; it´s a isoseles triangle shaped block (whose base is Vicente Guerrero street), Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I'd like to ad a photo that depicts how it looks today, but don't know how to. Dr. Roberto Duarte

@Dr. Roberto Duarte: To add a photo here, first post it on your own Flickr stream, then highlight and copy its URL. Next, paste the URL in your comment box on this page (the one you've used above, or a new one). Enclose the link in square brackets [ ], and it will appear as a photo here (but only if it links to a photo already on Flickr). As examples, I have copied the above photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162705877/in/p... And the other Lerdo Avenue photo you mentioned, here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163463378/

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Mexico Magico, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Villa tuvo muchos hijos con varias mujeres. Su última hija acaba de fallecer en Querétaro, a los 93 años: Socorro Arango Díaz.

In the down side of the pic we can read a tag "Fco. Villa y Estado Mayor" they was named "Los Dorados de Villa" (Villa's Golden Warriors)

Estoy de acuerdo con el nombre sobre "Los Dorados de Villa". Pero antes de ser los Dorados, Villa estaba ubicado entre ser un bandido o un revolucionario. Se creo la división del Norte y el grupo de los Dorados, cuando Villa paso a ser un Revolucionario formal, dentro del ejercito organizado de la revolución. Los Dorados usaban ya uniforme miltar de la época y no ropa de cilviles.

i have a print of this exact negative that has been cropped, however on the print that i have, Villa's crotch does not have a water stain on it. How can we request the LOC restore this and make a new one available?

Quiero comentar como mexicano y patriota, que en esta imagen las personas que aparecen en ella... No son insurectos ni nada por el estilo, son mexicanos que lucharon por la libertad de su raza y de sus ideales, los cuales siempre fueron contra la marginacion y el desprecio de los mismos mexicanos, por unos cuanto extranjeros ricos acaparadores, los cuales apoyados por unos cuanto malos, mexicanos querian tener sumido en el hoyo de la pobresa y la ignorancia al pueblo mexicano... Por lo tanto son mexicanos valientes y valiosos, y es inadmicible que estas fotografias esten en manos extranjeras y no en los museos o en poder de mexicanos.

strange that these photos taken in Mexico have "south america" as a tag, when Mexico is part of North America. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Besides this picture is close by call number to www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.09390/ the man marked with an x as white recruit seems most likely to be the second (from left to right) in this picture; and the first one could be the man standing backwards in that picure. Would it be possible?

jerodamor: An interesting possiblity, but I can't say there is enough certainty to make a change to the record. Thanks for the observation!

Mike Slichenmyer: Good point about the tag! We leave the ability to tag open to all Flickr users, and do find there are sometimes edits needed. There are several photos of Mexico which appear to have been incorrectly tagged as South America, so I'll see about having those corrected. Thanks for your comment!
