1846 1856 Celebrate Delighted Horrid Meeting Mexican Mexicans Prospect Yorkers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a significant moment in American history - the Mexican Meeting of 1846 in Central Park, New York. The image shows a group of New Yorkers celebrating and expressing their delight at the prospect of war against the "horrid Mexicans". It is a stark reminder of the attitudes and sentiments prevalent during that time period.
The scene depicted in this photograph is both fascinating and disturbing, as it reflects the jingoistic fervor that swept through certain segments of society during this era. The celebratory atmosphere in Central Park serves as a stark contrast to the somber reality of war and its devastating consequences.
As we look back on events like these from our past, it is important to remember the complexities and nuances of history. While moments like these may be uncomfortable to confront, they serve as valuable reminders of how far we have come as a society.
Mary Evans Picture Library has provided us with an invaluable glimpse into this particular moment in time through this powerful image. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and the lessons we can learn from it.
