Additional Information
Created around 1945 by an unnamed artist for Mexico's tourism association, this poster carries visitors to Xochimilco, the canal district south of the capital. Flat-bottomed boats crowd the green waterway, their arched prows dressed in flowers as a poler guides them past the floating gardens.
Xochimilco preserved a web of canals and man-made islands first farmed in Aztec times, when the lake city drew its produce from these plots. By the 1940s the boats had become pleasure craft, and Sunday crowds hired them for music, food, and lazy drifting.
The tourism board that issued this design worked to lure overseas visitors through the 1940s, promoting sights, ruins, and beaches to travelers arriving by road and rail. Xochimilco offered the calmer face of the country, a garden escape a short ride from downtown.
Today this poster stands as a testament to the postwar boom in travel to Mexico and offers a window into a waterway that has drawn day-trippers for centuries. Its painted boats and mirror-still canal make it a prized accent for a kitchen, sunroom, or hall.
