Victoriano Huerta: A Contemporary Portrait of the 35th President of Mexico (1913) This colored engraving depicts Victoriano Huerta, a significant figure in Mexican history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Huerta, born in Colotlan, Jalisco, Mexico, in 1850, rose to prominence as a military leader and later became the President of Mexico in 1913. In this portrait, Huerta is portrayed as a middle-aged man, bald with a prominent mustache and glasses. His military background is evident from the uniform he wears, complete with a suit jacket, tie, and decorative medals. The title "El Usurpador" (The Usurper) and "El Chacal" (The Jackal) were common nicknames given to Huerta due to his controversial rise to power and the controversial methods he used to maintain it. The year 1913 marks a pivotal moment in Mexican history, as Huerta seized power through a military coup, overthrowing the constitutionally elected President, Francisco Madero. Huerta's presidency was marked by political instability, and his rule was met with resistance from various factions, including the Constitutionalists led by Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa. Despite the controversies surrounding Huerta's presidency, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping Mexico's political landscape during a tumultuous period in its history. The image serves as a reminder of the complexities and intricacies of Latin American politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when the balance of power shifted frequently and often violently.
