Summary: "The Haciendas of Mexico: An Artist's Record" by Paul Alexander Bartlett is a historical account enriched with artistic representations, likely written in the late 20th century. The work captures the essence of the hacienda system in Mexico, focusing on its architectural beauty, sociocultural significance, and the transformative effects of historical events such as the Mexican Revolution. Bartlett's journey through these aged estates is a tribute to a way of life that reflects a complex social hierarchy, the interplay between opulence and poverty, and the impact of agrarian reforms. The opening of the book provides an introduction to both the author’s artistic endeavors and the historical context of the haciendas he portrays. Bartlett recounts his extensive travels across Mexico, detailing how he visited over three hundred haciendas, often in remote locations, where he sketched and photographed their structures. He reflects on the charm and decay of these once grand estates, emphasizing the loss of cultural heritage and the changes wrought by the passage of time and societal shifts. Through Bartlett's eyes, readers get a glimpse of the vibrant life that revolved around haciendas, rich with stories of past inhabitants and the changing landscape of Mexico’s history.
