EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of San Jacinto on 21 April 1836, also known as the Texas War of Independence. In this intense clash between Mexican forces led by Santa Anna and Texian (US) forces under Sam Houston, the tide turned swiftly in favor of the Texans. In a remarkable display of bravery and strategic prowess, Sam Houston's troops defeated Santa Anna's army within a mere twelve minutes. The Texian victory was not only swift but decisive, marking a turning point in their fight for independence from Mexico. The image showcases the aftermath of this historic battle. Santa Anna, once an influential politician and military leader, is captured and forced to sign the Treaty of Velasco on 14 May. This significant document recognized the hard-fought independence of Texas from Mexican rule. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of nineteenth-century America, this photograph transports us back to that fateful day in April 1836 when freedom hung in balance. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for liberty during this tumultuous time. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in both American and Mexican history - one that shaped nations and left an indelible mark on future generations.
