EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Molino del Rey - attack upon the Molino" transports us back to a significant moment in history during The War Between the United States and Mexico. Created by Carl Nebel in 1851, this vibrant print captures the intensity of the Battle of Molino del Rey that took place on September 8th, 1847. As we gaze at this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the clash between two formidable forces. On one side stands the US Army led by General Winfield Scott, determined to march into Mexico City. Opposing them is the Mexican Army commanded by Antonio de Leon, fiercely defending their fortress. The scene is set against a backdrop of snowcapped mountains, adding an element of grandeur and highlighting the harsh conditions these soldiers faced. Gunfire fills the air as both sides confront each other with unwavering determination. This battle proved to be a pivotal moment in history as it resulted in a stand-off between these two armies. However, just one week later, victory would belong to General Scott's troops as they successfully entered Mexico City. Nebel's lithograph not only captures a specific event but also serves as a testament to human conflict and resilience. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on both sides during this tumultuous period. Displayed within private collections today, this print continues to serve as a visual reminder of an important chapter in American-Mexican relations and invites us to reflect on how conflicts
