A highly significant Mexican lithographic production and a wonderful window on 19th- century life in Mexico City. This example includes the rare map of Mexico City (dated 1875) and the Kickapoo Indians plate. There are many issues of this work, with varying numbers and qualities of plates. The work was originally issued by subscription starting in 1855, and the first bound copies became available in 1856. It is almost certain that from the beginning the book was published as demanded by the marketplace, consequently there are no formal "editions" in the proper sense. Over the years individual plates were completely modified in accordance with physical changes to a site (as an example, at one point the plate depicting the home of Emperor Iturbide changes completely to a different perspective). Copies are reported to have anywhere from twenty-eight to fifty-two plates, and a very few examples contain a map of Mexico (including the present copy, which has two maps of Mexico, though both are dated later than usually seen). The dates found on different copies add to the confusion, especially since up to three different dates can be found in some copies. In a recent study of Castro's work, CASIMIRO CASTRO Y SU TALLER (1996), a census of copies of MEXICO Y SUS ALREDEDORES is given, listing the various recorded combinations of dates. The present example is dated 1864 on the letterpress titlepage (where it is stated as the second edition), undated on the lithographic titlepage (which sometimes carries its own imprint date), and has maps dated 1872 and 1875. The plates are of the highest quality and depict scenes throughout the Mexican capital, including the National Palace, the cathedral of Guadalupe, Iturbide's mansion, Mexican señoritas, the College of Mines, Paseo de Bucareli, the Alameda of Mexico (with an air balloon towering above), Paseo de la Viga, and the sumptuous interior of the national cathedral, and public squares and gardens, among many other beautiful scenes. Of great importance in the present example is the color plate titled "Indios Kikapoos," a rarely-found image depicting eleven Kickapoo tribesmen, including a runaway Texas slave, being presented at the court of the Austrian Archduke and Emperor of Mexico, Maximilian, in 1865. The Kickapoo sought to avoid involvement with the Confederacy or Union in the Civil War and pleaded for asylum from Texans who were on the war path against them. The origin of the name Kickapoo ("he moves about") certainly fits the history of this interesting people, who more than most any other North American tribe have retained their cultural identity and practices despite geographic fluctuations and myriad alliances. The Kickapoo tribe is the only tribe that never surrendered to or signed any kind of peace treaty with the United States. They were granted the right to cross the border at will. The present lithograph of the Kickapoos has been suggested as the first lithograph made from a photograph in Mexico at the time. Close examination reveals the image to be a lithographic combination of realism and artistic imagination and the image was likely partially based on a photograph by François Aubert (1839-1900). Mathes describes this book as "the most important work illustrating Mexico City in the nineteenth century," and it is certainly a landmark in the history of the lithographer's art in Mexico. McGrath adds: "These are some of the finest and most famous architectural and costume plates done in the western hemisphere." The present copy contains two folding maps of Mexico. The first is dated 1875, and titled PLANO GENERAL DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO. The second is titled CARTA GENERAL DE LA REPUBLICA MEXICANA, and dated 1872. Like the majority of the plates in the work, both of these maps were lithographed by Debray. On the titlepage, the publishers refer to this edition as the second, augmented edition, and it certainly displays hallmarks of later editions of the work. Almost all the lithographic attributions are altered from "Decaen" to "Decaen y Debray" or simply "Debray." More elements of updated transportation are included, reflecting the beginning of modernization of the transportation system in Mexico (one of the plates shows the train station at Puebla, and some plates incorporate streetcars and railroad lines). This album adds fifteen images new to the later editions, some of which use prior subjects but rework the plates significantly or in total. Some of the new or reworked lithographs are due to changes in architecture and public spaces ordered by Emperor Maximilian during French occupation (1864-1867). The heavy splendor of French Second Empire architecture was imported into Mexico, and the famous gardens and castle at Chapultepec and other architecture and public properties were beautified by the Emperor. His choices resulted in many beautiful structures and parks. Maximilian was executed, but the Second Empire architectural style he introduced to Mexico remained a significant influence on Mexican style and lives on in Mexico today. A wonderful example of a landmark work of Mexican lithography, with more plates than are usually encountered, and some showing the evolution.
