From the sitting room to the hunting site: a study in group photography in 1920’s Culiacan

Abstract

This work focuses on the revision of pictures belonging to the Tamayo family that were taken in 1921. In general, the topics presented allude to the outings preferred by the youth, as well as the dress and social codes pertaining young ladies and gentlemen. These postcards of everyday life allow us to see a reflection of Culiacan´s society in the second decade of the last century. At the same time, they make it possible to get a glimpse of the delicate pattern of values and social customs that predominated in this society.
