EDITORS COMMENTS
July 1914: A Sense of Unease in Mexico City - Front Cover, Illustrated London News Amidst the tranquil streets of Mexico City, a sense of unease began to unfold as tensions between the Mexican government and foreigners reached a boiling point. In anticipation of potential unrest in the capital, members of the British colony gathered to prepare for self-defense. This striking image, captured by the Illustrated London News, depicts British civilians and soldiers engaging in a drill, each holding a rifle with a determined expression. The scene takes place in the city's Alameda Park, where the British community had set up a makeshift military camp. The men, both civilian and military, appear focused and resolute, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation. The fatigue on their faces and the sweat on their brows attest to the intensity of their practice sessions. The photograph, published on the front cover of the Illustrated London News, serves as a poignant reminder of the historical events that unfolded in Mexico during this period. The crisis, known as the Hundred Days' Crisis, began when Mexican President Victoriano Huerta ordered the execution of several Mexican intellectuals and politicians, leading to widespread protests and international condemnation. As the situation escalated, foreigners, particularly the British, felt their safety was at risk, and many formed self-defense groups to protect themselves and their property. The image of the British colony preparing to defend themselves in Mexico City is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who found themselves in a precarious situation far from home. This photograph, with its powerful composition and evocative subject matter, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, when the tranquility of Mexico City was shattered by political upheaval and the need for self-preservation.
