Aqueduct at Queretaro - a photo on Flickriver

Circa 1897. "Mexican Central Railway -- the Aqueduct at Queretaro." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative by William Henry Jackson. The aqueduct was completed in 1738.

Legend has it (as recounted on the Shorpy comments section) that the aqueduct was commissioned by the Marquis del Villa del Alguia as a grandiose testament of his undying love for a beautiful — yet unattainable — woman named Clarissa. You see, Clarissa just happened to be a nun belonging to the convent of Santa Clara. With intimacy out of the question, the marquis believed that erecting a massive aqueduct would spiritually connect him with the off-limits object of his affection.
