EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Capture of Monterey" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the US-Mexican War. Created by the talented Carl Nebel in 1851, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of that fateful day on September 25th, 1846. In this scene, we witness the relentless march of US troops towards Monterey against the backdrop of the majestic Sierra Madre. The determined soldiers are seen advancing with purpose and determination as they prepare to engage in battle. Their presence symbolizes their unwavering commitment to secure victory for their nation. The Mexican army, led by General Pedro Ampudia, stands as a formidable force awaiting its fate. However, despite their valiant efforts, history tells us that they were ultimately defeated by Zachary Taylor's US forces. Nebel's illustration skillfully portrays various elements crucial to understanding this historical event. From covered wagons representing arduous journeys undertaken by both armies to the grandeur of Sierra Madre Oriental serving as a silent witness to this clash between nations - every detail adds depth and significance to this artwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of how conflicts shape our world and leave an indelible mark on our collective memory.
