EDITORS COMMENTS
Guadalupe Victoria, born Manuel Fernandez Gorostieta on September 25, 1789, in San Gabriel, New Spain (now Jalisco, Mexico), is a significant figure in Mexican history. This striking print captures the likeness of the man who led Mexico to independence from Spain and became its first president. Victoria joined the Spanish army at a young age and served in various campaigns against the British and indigenous peoples in present-day Mexico and the southwestern United States. After the Spanish army disbanded following Mexico's independence, Victoria played a crucial role in the struggle for independence. He was a key figure in the Plan de Iguala, which called for the abolition of slavery, religious freedom, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Following Mexico's victory in the Battle of Mexico City in 1821, Victoria was elected as the first president of the Mexican Republic on October 27, 1821. During his presidency, he worked to establish a stable government and maintain peace among the diverse population. He also oversaw the drafting of the 1824 Constitution, which is still the basis for Mexico's government today. Despite his achievements, Victoria's presidency was not without challenges. He faced opposition from various factions, including those who wanted to restore the monarchy and those who sought to establish a military dictatorship. Victoria's commitment to the principles of liberty and democracy ultimately prevailed, and he is remembered as a hero of Mexican independence and a champion of the Mexican people. This powerful image of Guadalupe Victoria, with his stern gaze and military uniform, serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the man who led Mexico to independence and laid the foundations for its modern government. The print, produced by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable historical figure.
