Rosas’s best known work is “Sobre las Olas” or “Over the Waves” waltz. It was first published by Rosas in 1884 when he was in New Orleans, Louisiana with the popular Mexican band at the World Cotton Centennial World’s Fair. [wikipedia]

So this waltz is dedicated to my mexican readers and for those starting their summer holidays.

Remember and enjoy last year posts:

when I had more time to search, learn and share about photography.

While we create real digital content a good start is to digitalised old works. The start, some old litographies of the conquest of Mexico.
