La imagen fotográfica de los metodistas en México (1890-1910)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review and expose the use of a series of photographs related to the beginnings of Methodism in Mexico in the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, under two topics. On the one hand, the photography published in the press of this Protestant group, from the invention of the halftone, in the pages of periodicals and, on the other hand, the meaning of the photographic object as a record of the activities of the Methodist mission. Far from being a simple ornament, this paper attempts to use the photographic record as a document for historical analysis.
