EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the pivotal moment of the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican-American War, as American soldiers storm Fort Teneria in Nuevo León, Mexico, on September 22, 1846. The image, titled 'Storming of Fort Teneria,' is taken from John Frost's Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War, published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. in Philadelphia in 1849. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and intensity, as men in uniform charge forward, weapons at the ready, towards the fortifications of Fort Teneria. The smoke from the guns and explosions fills the air, adding to the chaos and confusion of the battlefield. The fort, a formidable building with high walls and gun emplacements, looms in the background, a testament to the resistance put up by the Mexican defenders. The print offers a glimpse into the courage and determination of the soldiers on both sides, as they engage in fierce combat. The male figures, with their focused expressions and determined postures, convey a sense of resolve and grit. The print also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Battle of Monterrey, which marked a turning point in the Mexican-American War and ultimately led to the United States' victory. Despite the lack of a known creator, this print remains an important historical document, providing a visual representation of a pivotal moment in American history. It is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers involved, and a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Mexico and the United States in the 19th century.
