EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plucked: or, The Mexican Eagle Before the War! The Mexican Eagle After the War!" showcases a satirical and humorous take on the outcome of the Mexican-American war. Created by an anonymous American School artist in the 19th century, this lithograph captures a significant moment in political history. The image portrays two contrasting scenes side by side. On one side, we see a proud and majestic Mexican eagle perched atop a cactus, symbolizing Mexico's strength before the war. However, on the other side, we witness a stark transformation as the same eagle is depicted plucked and defeated after losing to its American counterpart. Through clever caricature and symbolism, this artwork reflects upon America's victory over Mexico during that historical conflict. It serves as both political commentary and satire on power dynamics between nations. The artist skillfully conveys their message using visual elements such as feathers being plucked from the eagle's body to represent defeat. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes of nationalism, conquests, and triumphs through its witty portrayal. Displayed at New-York Historical Society in USA today; it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless relevance. As an engraving now out of copyright restrictions but still resonating with contemporary issues surrounding politics and international relations; it reminds us that art has always been used as a medium for social commentary throughout history.
