Cecil B. Atwater (1886–1981) is known for his distinguished photographs of Mexico. These photographs, taken by Mr. Atwater when he visited Mexico, are of particular interest because they show the life of the country. There are exciting views of the market places and the natives, as well as landscapes of unusual beauty and charm.
Two women, one holding a small child in a cloth wrap, buying from a male vendor in front of a sidewalk and blank wall. The vendor is kneeling on the ground behind a pile of rocks and holds a scale in one hand. Both women are barefoot and the one with the child wears a wide-brimmed hat.
