EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the gallant charge of the Kentuckians at the historic Battle of Buena Vista on February 23rd, 1847. Hand-coloured and meticulously detailed, this lithograph by American School showcases a pivotal moment in the Mexican-American War. Led by General Zachary Taylor, who would later become President of the United States, these brave soldiers fought valiantly against their Mexican counterparts. The image depicts a chaotic scene filled with men on horseback wielding bayonets and brandishing weapons. The flags proudly wave in the wind as officers strategize amidst the chaos. The wounded are scattered across the battlefield, highlighting both sides' casualties during this intense confrontation. This artwork from The Stapleton Collection transports us back to that fateful day when Kentucky troops faced off against Mexican forces. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in this conflict. Beyond its historical significance, this print also offers insight into early medical practices and military strategy during that era. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of medicine and warfare since then. Overall, this hand-coloured lithograph is not only an exquisite work of art but also a window into an important chapter in American history - one that shaped our nation's identity and influenced future events.
