EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity and chaos of the French attack on Fort San Guadalupe in Puebla, Mexico, in 1862. In the distance, the imposing stone walls of the fort stand defiantly against the invading forces. Several soldiers, dressed in their distinctive blue uniforms, are seen making a desperate charge up an incline towards the enemy lines. Their determined expressions and raised weapons convey a sense of urgency and resolve. The clash of arms and the roar of cannons would have filled the air as the two sides collided in a brutal and violent struggle for control. Despite the French army's superior numbers and firepower, the Mexican forces, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, managed to repel the attack and secure a surprising victory. This pivotal moment in the Franco-Mexican War marked a significant turning point in Mexico's resistance against foreign occupation and is now celebrated as the Battle of Puebla. The bravery and resilience of the Mexican soldiers are immortalized in this powerful and iconic image.
