Description
San Ángel was once a rural village outside of Mexico City and today it is a colonia or neighborhood of Mexico City. It is a charming neighborhood of cobblestone streets and colonial homes. In her color woodcut from 1912, Hyde captured a family beautifully attired in their Sunday best promenading along a stone walkway on their way to mass. The children hold long tapers which suggest that the day is Dia de la Candelaria, Candle Mass Day in Mexico.
