EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the year 1904, offering a glimpse into an era when human-powered transport was still prevalent. Titled "Poor Mans Burden" this image showcases an intriguing scene in Mexico. The postcard captures the essence of everyday life as locals navigate through bustling streets using their own physical strength. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness men and women laboriously propelling themselves forward on various forms of transportation. From bicycles with oversized cargo baskets to hand-pulled carts filled with goods, each individual seems determined to overcome the challenges presented by their circumstances. The authenticity of this photograph is striking; it transports us back over a century ago and allows us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of technological advancements in transportation. It serves as a poignant reminder that not too long ago, human power was relied upon for even the most basic modes of travel. As we admire this historical relic, let's appreciate the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those who had no choice but to rely on their own strength for mobility. This print encapsulates both the struggles faced by ordinary people and their unwavering determination to carry their burdens forward despite adversity.
