Stake attention in this memory
The image displays a historical diorama viewed through a reflective glass panel, located within the Banco de la República Oriental del Uruguay (BROU) headquarters at Calle Zabala 1450, Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, Uruguay. The diorama features a six-horse-drawn stagecoach, or "diligencia," moving from left to right across a sparse, sandy landscape with small rocks and minimal vegetation. The stagecoach, positioned on the left, is an enclosed, dark-colored vehicle with passengers visible inside and luggage on the roof. The six horses pulling the stagecoach, along with a lone rider on horseback on the far right and a small canine-like figure near the rider's horse, are rendered in a rustic, textured style suggesting construction from organic or fibrous materials, giving them a worn, almost skeletal appearance. The rider holds a staff or weapon. Reflections on the glass panel superimpose details of the external urban environment onto the diorama, including modern glass-facade buildings, an older ornate stone building with balconies, and distant street elements. A white plaque with Spanish text at the bottom of the display identifies the scene as "Representation of the last stagecoach that, with the name of "LA COMERCIAL DEL ESTE," circulated in Maldonado until 1880, the year the railway arrived in this city."
