In documentary and journalistic photographs, depictions of crowds can underscore the gravity of dire circumstances. Agustín Victor Casasola composed his frame so that the line of evacuating civilians extends to either side, suggesting the large number of people affected by the Mexican Revolution’s Ten Tragic Days, during which Mexico City suffered catastrophic damage and thousands were killed.
