El ferrocarril fue uno de los medios de comunicación más significativos del siglo xix. Las obras plásticas y gráficas fueron los medios en los cuales se plasmó el progreso tecnológico de México durante el periodo decimonónico. La construcción de puentes para el paso del ferrocarril significó la imposición del progreso ante la naturaleza. El Puente de Metlac sirvió como modelo para su representación en distintos medios, pinturas de caballete, fotografías, cromolitografías, litografías y grabados. La finalidad era mostrar el potencial y la prosperidad económica de México, así como funcionar de instrumento legitimador y legalizador de las concesiones otorgadas a extranjeros por parte de Porfirio Díaz.

| description |
The railroad was one of the most significant means of communication in the nineteenth century. Art works and prints were the means through which Mexico’s technological progress was depicted during this period. The erection of bridges for railroad tracks signified the imposition of progress over nature. The Metlac Bridge served as a model for the representation of this idea in different media: easel paintings, photographs, chromolithographs, lithographs and engravings. The goal was to demonstrate Mexico’s potential and economic prosperity, as well as to act as a legitimizing and legalizing instrument of concessions granted to foreigners by Porfirio Díaz. |
