The photographs in this collection depict historic moments from the late years of the Porfiriatio and the early years of the Mexican revolution

Four photographs by F. Gómez Rul depict the presidential festivities in Merída, 1906, held in honor of Porfirio Díaz's visit to Yucatán. They include the welcome arch erected by the American community, the presidential procession down the main avenue of Merída, a parade float representing a Maya temple with a figure of Chacmool on top, and a replica of the Parthenon used as a theater

Images related to the Mexican revolution include two photographs of the funeral of Abraham González, the Governor of Chihuahua and a leading Maderista, who was assassinated on the orders of President Huerta in 1913. One photograph shows Pancho Villa and the other pallbearers carrying González' coffin, and the other depicts the funeral cortege. Three photographs are related to the anti-Huerista Constitutionalist movement headed by Venustiano Carranza. The first, taken in 1914, shows a group of officers and friends relaxing. The second and third were taken on November 5, 1915, four days after Pancho Villa's forces were defeated by the Constitutionalist forces at Agua Prieta, Sonora. One depicts the artillery of the North-East Division of the Constitutional Armed Force, and the other shows the headquarters of the 4th Division Volunteer Corps in Agua Prieta. These two photographs are identified on their versos as belonging to Lieutenant M.J. Solis
