    The history of Mount Auburn Cemetery: "Mount Auburn Cemetery has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of the Interior, recognizing it as one of the country's most significant cultural landscapes. Founded in 1831, it was the first large-scale designed landscape open to the public in the United States. Today its beauty, historical associations and horticultural collections are internationally renowned." More: www.mountauburn.org/national_landmark/history.cfm

    at the time, cemeteries were better taken care of than now. It's because families were generally alot closer (including extended families living in the same houses or even next to each other). Since parks were few, people would have picnics, clean the family plots, and so on. Photographing cemeteries may be "rare" now and then, but some of us do still enjoy the same past time. :)

    The concept of "landscape architecture" was in its infancy at this time. As noted above, the idea was to turn the cemetery into a public space that could be aesthetically enjoyed by all. This and other cemeteries like it across the U.S. would become the site of family outings, picnics, etc., even for people who had no loved ones buried there. The presence of a camera crew would be unusual only to the extent that cameras were somewhat rare in the 1850's.

Battle of Juarez, Insurrectos on irrigation ditch (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    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/
