Description |
English: Plate 7: A woman, whole-length standing, looking to the left, wearing green skirt with red lines and matching mantle over her head, holding a basket with corn in her right hand, pointing to the right with her left hand.
Lithograph, hand-coloured Español: MUJER DE CIUDAD RODRIGO No hay en parte alguna, mayor variedad de trajes que en las provincias de la República. Cada casta tiene el suyo, pero no contentos con la diversidad de sus colores, agregan los de sus vestimentas. Los negros, los mestizos, los indios, los criollos, los españoles, se distinguen fácilmente por sus rasgos y sus trajes. Mas el calor del clima no permite que sean muy complicados ni estorbosos; los de las mujeres consisten siempre en una falda y una manteleta de formas y colores variados, como se puede ver en láminas anteriores. Hemos escogido los trajes más elegantes y los más bizarros, como el de esta lámina que contrasta por su severidad con lo que pueden tener de seductor las ropas ligeras de las palencanas. Los indios modernos han conservado de sus antepasados, el uso de objetos trenzados para gran número de cosas, el cesto que lleva esta mujer es de hojas de caña tejidas con esmero. Se les llama tompeates. Las sirvientas los usan en México para ir al mercado. Para mejor caracterizar al país, esta joven india lleva una "anona", que los españoles llaman una piña por la semejanza que tiene con las manzanas del pino. Esta excelente fruta abunda en las tierras bajas de México, así como la chirimoya que tiene una pasta deliciosa de un sabor parecido al de un helado de vainilla; el mamey, cuyo fruto recuerda el gusto y el color del melón. Las diferentes familias de zapotes, el cocotero, el plátano, la guayaba, el aguacate, las tunas (higos de la India) y muchos árboles frutales de los cuales algunos llegan apenas a nuestros invernaderos, compensan por sus sabores suaves y variados, la ausencia de nuestras uvas, que a causa de las lluvias periódicas, no maduran sino de manera imperfecta en las regiones equinocciales. |

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
