EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense Battle of Molino del Rey during the US-Mexican War in 1847. Created by renowned artist Carl Nebel, this colour lithograph depicts the pivotal moment when the US Army launched an attack on the fortified Molino del Rey just outside Mexico City. The battle took place on September 8th and resulted in a fierce stand-off between American forces led by General Winfield Scott and Mexican troops commanded by Antonio de Leon. In this historical illustration, gunfire fills the air as soldiers from both sides engage in combat amidst a backdrop of snowcapped mountains. The fortress-like structure of Molino del Rey looms prominently, serving as a formidable obstacle for advancing troops. This image captures not only the intensity of warfare but also highlights the strategic significance of this particular battle. Although initially resulting in a stalemate, this clash ultimately paved the way for future success for the US Army. Just one week later, they successfully marched into Mexico City, marking a turning point in their campaign against Mexico. Preserved within Heritage Images' historica graphica collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in American and Mexican history. It serves as a powerful reminder of bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers on both sides during times of conflict.
