La mineria nunca ha dejado de brindar beneficios que se han traducido en huellas profundas de lo mexicano. No hay que ir muy lejos para encontrar los frutos de la tierra: desde la escultura en plata, hasta la fisonomia de ciudades mineras, pasando por los retablos virreinales, los estofados y hasta la artesania en hoja de lata. Estas paginas son un descenso por las galerias que conforman las vetas mas ricas del pais. ENGLISH: The mining industry has never ceased to produce economic benefits that have translated into deeprooted symbols of Mexican identity. One does not have to look very far to find the fruits of this industry: from sculpture in silver to the architecture of mining cities, by way of vice¬regal altarpieces, work in estofado and even tinwork. This issue is a descent into the galleries where the richest veins of the country may be found. ; Spanish Edition; Color Photographs; 12.80 X 8.80 X 0.50 inches; 112 pages DQ3.
