This collection contains one photo album of snapshots taken in Mexico in 1909 and 1910. The photographer is unknown, but the photos are labelled with captions written in French. The subjects of the photos include political parades (including Centernnial Celebration, 1910), the children and home of Porfirio Díaz, posed pictures of "natives," picnics in the park (La Viga canal), and snapshots of friends. There are also photos of haciendas, agriculture and industry (such as Standard Oil Co. fields in Tampico), monuments and churches, and recreational facilities at the tourist's "Club Suisse." The locations include Mexico City, Mixcoac, Tampico, Contreras, Morelia, Toluca, Tenoaya, and Tusctepec. Photos of Porfirio Díaz's house show it in 1909 and again in 1910 after a fire. Other photos show automated textile looms, possibly in Europe.
