EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1847, created by Currier & Ives, depicts the historic Battle of Buena Vista, also known as the Battle of Angostura, which took place on February 23rd during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The scene showcases General Zachary Taylor's American forces in a triumphant stance after defeating the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna. In this vivid print, we see the contrasting uniforms of both armies. The Mexicans are depicted in green attire under Santa Anna's command while facing off against their American counterparts. The intense battle is frozen in time through intricate details and skillful artistry. The significance of this battle lies not only in its military outcome but also in its impact on shaping history. Despite being outnumbered and facing formidable odds, General Taylor's strategic brilliance prevailed over Santa Anna's forces. This victory bolstered American morale and played a crucial role in securing future successes for the United States during this war. Currier & Ives' artistic rendition captures both the intensity and heroism displayed by soldiers on both sides. This historical lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this conflict and honors those who fought valiantly for their respective nations. As an important piece of historical artwork, it allows us to reflect upon one chapter within a larger narrative that shaped relations between Mexico and America during this pivotal period.
