EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Buena Vista, c1847 The Battle of Buena Vista, fought on February 22, 1847, was a significant engagement during the Mexican-American War. This stunning print, produced around 1847, captures the drama and intensity of the battlefield after the victory of the United States Army under General Winfield Scott against Mexican forces led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The image portrays a panoramic view of the battlefield, with the Mexican army retreating in the distance, leaving behind their abandoned artillery and supplies. The US troops, victorious and triumphant, can be seen in the foreground, with their flags raised high and their cannons trained on the enemy. The sun sets in the background, casting a warm glow over the battlefield and signaling the end of the day's fighting. The Battle of Buena Vista was a turning point in the Mexican-American War, as it marked the beginning of the end for Mexican resistance. The victory secured the US control over the region and paved the way for the eventual signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This print provides a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the events that shaped the history of North America. The intricate details, from the soldiers' uniforms to the battlefield terrain, make it an invaluable historical document and a must-have for any history or military enthusiast's collection.
