EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment during the French intervention in Mexico, specifically the approach of the French Army towards the city of Puebla in 1863. The French troops, weary from their long march, take a much-needed rest before continuing their ascent up the steep incline. Out of sight from the city in the distance, the soldiers and their horses pause to catch their breath, while their cannons and guns remain at the ready. The French Army, led by Emperor Napoléon III, had invaded Mexico in an attempt to install Maximilian I as the new Emperor of Mexico and to secure economic interests in the region. The Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5, 1862, saw the Mexican forces, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, successfully repelling the French attack. This unexpected victory became a symbol of Mexican national pride and is now celebrated as Mexico's National Day. In this photograph, the French soldiers appear determined yet fatigued, their uniforms bearing the marks of their arduous journey. The horses, too, show signs of exhaustion, their coats glistening with sweat. The steep incline before them is a formidable challenge, but the soldiers press on, knowing that the prize at the top – the city of Puebla – is within reach. The cannons and guns, loaded and ready, serve as a reminder of the potential for conflict that lies ahead. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the realities of war, revealing the physical and emotional toll it takes on soldiers as they march towards their objectives. The photograph also underscores the significance of the Battle of Puebla and the resilience of the Mexican people in the face of foreign invasion.
