EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'General Bustamante' and dated 1849, showcases Mexican soldier and politician Anastasio Bustamante y Oseguera. A prominent figure in Mexican history, Bustamante served as president of Mexico on three separate occasions and was a key participant in the Mexican War of Independence. Bustamante's military career is evident in his impeccably tailored uniform, complete with epaulets adorning his shoulders. The high collar and long sleeves of his jacket, along with the intricate detailing on his waistcoat and trousers, are indicative of the fashion trends of the 19th century. The portrait, part of John Frost's Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War, published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. in Philadelphia, offers a glimpse into the life of this important historical figure. Bustamante's piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting his leadership and commitment to his country. The location of the photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during Bustamante's tenure as president or during his military service. Despite the passage of time, this image continues to capture the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the history of Mexico during the 19th century.
