AFTER AUGUSTE DARIÈS (photographer)
Espedicion a Mejico. Vera-Cruz. Paseo, cementario, campamento é isla de sacrificios.
tinted lithograph by Sabatier and Didier, Paris: Lemercier, [c.1862]. (Marginal tears, two extending into image area, most neatly repaired.)
image: 49.5 x 72.5cm., sheet: 62.5 x 84cm.
This lively scene shows Vera Cruz with the camp of the occupying Spanish and French forces of 1861/2. Several hundred soldiers stroll, exercise or relax in the foreground, with their tented camp in the middle-ground and the fleet in the bay in the background. The Spanish forces, commanded by General Prim, occupied Vera Cruz on the 14th December 1861, and the French fleet and troops arrived shortly afterwards. The eventual outcome of this European intervention was the installation of Maximilian of Austria as Emperor of Mexico in 1864.
