Montevideo (12)


Source: WTL digitized slide photograph© on site in Montevideo, 1985.
Comments: A typical street market. The only thing that is particularly notable, beyond the fact that small street markets (mercadillos) are a common event in Latin America, is the context for this photo: this photo was taken one block from the previous photo and is very close to the center of Old Montevideo.
Humanities question: Noting that this photo was taken in winter in the Cono Sur (Southern Cone: what's that?), what is typically "Latin American" about this scene?
