• DESCRIPTION: Shows part of the storming of Mexico City by American soldiers during the Mexican-American War - part of General Winfield Scott's attempt to capture the city by splitting his troops to attack the Mexicans' extensive and strategic defense positions. This view appeared in the portfolio “The War Between the United States and Mexico, Illustrated. Embracing Pictorial Drawings of All the Principal Conflicts by Carl Nebel, . . . With a Description of Each Battle, By Geo. Wilkins Kendall.” Kendall was the editor of the New Orleans newspaper “Daily Picayune” and traveled with the army as a war correspondent. He hired Nebel to create the twelve images that would be used to make prints to illustrate the book. Many consider this work to be most beautiful nineteenth-century publication relating to the early history of Texas.
