EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Capture of Monterey, from The War Between the United States and Mexico" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Published in 1851, this colour lithograph by Carl Nebel depicts the events that unfolded on September 25th, 1846. In the foreground of the image, we witness a procession of determined US troops marching towards Monterey. Their presence is juxtaposed against the majestic backdrop of Sierra Madre Oriental, adding an air of grandeur to this scene. As they advance with purpose and resolve, their covered wagons symbolize both their military might and logistical prowess. The composition also highlights key figures involved in this historic conflict. General Zachary Taylor, who would later become the twelfth President of the United States, leads his forces with unwavering determination. On the opposing side stands General Pedro Ampudia representing Mexican resistance against American expansionism. Ultimately, this lithograph captures a turning point in history when US troops successfully defeated Mexican forces during the US-Mexican War (1846-1848). It serves as a visual testament to both triumph and tragedy as it showcases not only military strategy but also cultural landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection held privately today; we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and provide valuable insights into our shared past.
