EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'General Twiggs' and published in the 'Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War' by John Frost, LL.D., in 1849, showcases American soldier David E. Twiggs in full military regalia. Twiggs, a distinguished military figure, served in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Mexican-American War. The portrait captures Twiggs in his prime, with a well-groomed mustache and sideburns, a common fashion among military men of the time. His uniform is adorned with epaulets, a sign of his rank and status as a general in the United States Army. The background of the print is simple, with no apparent location indicated, allowing the focus to remain on Twiggs and his imposing presence. The print also features an intriguing addition - a Bengal tiger, a symbol of power and strength, peering over Twiggs' shoulder. This detail adds an exotic and adventurous element to the portrait, reflecting the far-reaching influence and reach of the American military during this period. Overall, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, military customs, and the adventurous spirit of the 19th century American soldier.
