EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the entry of the U. S. Army into Mexico City on September 17,1847. The line engraving, created in the 19th century, showcases the exterior of this vibrant Latin American city during a time of conflict and change. In this image, we see American soldiers marching through the streets with determination and purpose. Their presence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of stunning Mexican architecture, highlighting both cultural differences and shared histories between these two nations. The mid-19th century was a pivotal period for America as it expanded its influence across North America. This engraving serves as a visual testament to that expansionism and reflects broader themes of imperialism and territorial conquest. Moreover, this image offers us a glimpse into Mesoamerica's rich heritage. Mexico City stands as an enduring symbol of ancient civilizations such as Aztecs and Mayans who once thrived in this region. The convergence of past and present is palpable within these walls. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by The Granger Collection, let us remember that photographs have the power to transport us back in time - allowing us to witness events firsthand while also encouraging dialogue about our collective pasts.
