| Shrnutí: | In Mexico City, during the nineteenth century, the promenades became places of great importance in the daily lives of the now free citizens. People gathered with the purposes to socialize, to see and be seen, to show off their fancy clothing and their carriages, which indicated their social status, to walk and breathe clean air. Fountains and sculptures were erected there for more than just ornamental purposes. In this essay, the iconographic elements that made up the Fuente de Guerrero, built in 1830 on Bucareli Avenue, are interpreted with the goal of showing another use of these type of spaces: as a scene to manifest the political ideas of those in power at the time. |
