Cavalry Action, September 21st, 1849
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking print depicting a dramatic moment from the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican-American War. The image, created in 1849 by an unknown artist, is taken from John Frost's "Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War." The scene captures the intensity and chaos of the cavalry charge, with riders and horses charging forward, their faces set with determination and focus. The location of the battle is Nuevo León, Mexico, and the print provides a glimpse into the raw power and energy of the cavalrymen as they engage in combat. The horses, too, are a central part of the scene, their muscles tensed and eyes wide with exertion. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are a testament to the masculinity and bravery of the era. The print, published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. in Philadelphia, offers a unique insight into the military tactics and strategies of the time. The Battle of Monterrey was a significant turning point in the Mexican-American War, and this print captures the essence of the conflict between the United States and Mexico. John Frost, the author of the Pictorial History, was a prominent figure in his time, having earned his LL.D. degree. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, military history, or art, and is a testament to the rich visual history of the 19th century. The print's anonymous creator remains a mystery, but their work continues to capture the imagination and fascination of historians, collectors, and scholars alike.
