Just a teaser about a great posting that was made to the albums section by Cristina Pedroza with an excerpt from an academic source on the caste system in Mexico and including photos of the various castes. I have taken the libery to use one of them as the third image for our rotating banner images on the site.

The other one I recently added is a photo of my great-great-grandfather at the wedding of his youngest son in 1902 with the Totatiche landscape in the background. I am still open to receiving any more submissions.

This is hilarious! Thanks for sharing!!!
