Dockside Vendors and Market Scene, Coastal Mexico, 1949
Local vendors display shells, trinkets, and sundries for sale at a waterfront stand in a Mexican coastal town, circa 1949. Candid scenes of daily life such as this were commonly captured by American tourists visiting Mexico's Pacific coast resorts in the years following World War II, offering a glimpse of local commerce alongside the leisure activities documented elsewhere in this photo album.
