A White Umbrella In Mexico is a travelogue written by Francis Hopkinson Smith, an American artist, engineer, and writer. The book details his journey through Mexico in the late 19th century, where he explores the country's rich history, culture, and natural beauty. Smith's writing style is descriptive and immersive, painting vivid pictures of the landscapes, architecture, and people he encounters. He visits cities such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Puebla, as well as smaller towns and villages. Along the way, he shares his observations on Mexican customs, traditions, and social norms, as well as his interactions with locals.One of the recurring themes in the book is Smith's fascination with the contrasts he observes in Mexico - between the ancient and the modern, the rich and the poor, the urban and the rural. He also reflects on the impact of American influence on Mexican society, particularly in the wake of the Mexican-American War.Overall, A White Umbrella In Mexico offers a unique perspective on Mexico in the late 19th century, and is a valuable historical document as well as an engaging travelogue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
