Miret, Félix. Title unknown. Mexico City. February 1913. © Inv. #451501, Fondo Casasola, SINAFO-Fototeca Nacional del INAH. Found in Photographing the Mexican Revolution: Commitments, Testimonies, Icons by John Mraz. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2012. 136.
The photographer, Félix Miret, was active primarily during the first part of the Mexican Revolution. He took this picture in Mexico City during La Decena Trágica of February in 1913. The photograph depicts a woman, seemingly barefoot, kneeling on the side of a street, helping a wounded person who is pressed against a building by a doorway. The background of the photo is mostly washed out by the light, but the woman appears to have a dark skin tone. This suggests that she could be an indigenous woman who lived in Mexico City or who became a soldadera in the early years of the revolution.
