Overall, about very good.
Description
[Various places in Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, 1921. Overall, about very good.. 106 real photo postcards, including six duplicates. Varying sizes, but most approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches. Scattered contemporary and later manuscript annotations. Light wear at edges, occasionally a bit heavier. Some scattered damp and dust soiling. A substantial collection of over 100 real photo postcards that depict scenes from the Mexican Revolution and the related border war interventions of the United States Army. The images included here, some quite violent in nature, are dated from 1913 to 1922; most are captioned in the negative. They show ruined buildings, military encampments, injured soldiers, and corpses on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border and in Veracruz. Also included are identified portraits of individuals such as Francisco Madero, Pancho Villa on his deathbed, and American General John Pershing. Many of the images are by El Paso photographer W.H. Horne, who was one of the most prominent photographers of Border War incidents, captured the Columbus Raid in New Mexico, and photographed skirmishes near his home in El Paso. Also present are a short series of images by Cal Osborn, who documented border incidents near Douglass, Arizona, and a group by William Hadsell, William Hadsell, an American resident of Veracruz who ran a Kodak store and was a prolific recorder of events there. Several Mexican photographers are represented as well. Many of the photos are quite gruesome in nature, and show corpses in various states of decomposition, as well as the aftermath of battles and executions, but in all provide an arresting visual document of the interventions by the United States in Mexico during the 1910s. Powerful images of the Mexican Revolution and the resulting upheaval there and along the border with the United States.
