EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the young Ulysses S. Grant during a pivotal moment in history - the Battle for Mexico City in September 1847, amidst the Mexican-American War. In this intense scene, Grant's strategic brilliance shines through as he oversees the cannon fire from a church bell tower onto Mexican troops below. The image is based on an engraving by Emanuel Leutze, a German-born American artist renowned for his historical works. Leutze's illustration beautifully depicts Grant's audacious move of hoisting a cannon into the bell tower to gain an advantageous position against the enemy forces. Grant's actions exemplify his determination and resourcefulness as a military leader. His ability to adapt and seize opportunities played a significant role in shaping his future successes as one of America's most prominent figures. As we gaze upon this powerful archival photograph, we are transported back to that fateful day when Grant fearlessly directed fire upon Mexican troops. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and honors those who fought valiantly for their nations. Ken Welsh has expertly captured this historic moment, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its profound significance within American history. This image stands not only as an homage to Ulysses S. Grant but also as a testament to human resilience and courage in times of war.
