Author: Currier, N.
Title: Flight of the Mexican Army at the Battle of Buena Vista February 23, 1847. First Edition
Description: New York: N. Currier, 1847. Lithograph image area: 21.4x32 cm (8˝x12˝"); overall sheet size of 25.5x35.4 cm (10x14"). Contemporary hand coloring; professionally matted. One of the more bizarre scenes in the history of Mexican-American War lithography, of which Currier issued two versions. Almost nothing is depicted but backs - hundreds of them - as the army marches away on the evening of February 23. The only break in the monotony is a few bodies in the foreground and on the battlefield. In the far distance, the cavalry retreats. Condition: Slight darkening and chipping of margins; otherwise very good Currier & Ives : a catalogue raisonné / compiled by Gale Research. Detroit, MI : Gale Research, c. 1983, no. 2181. .
