Exhibits

 

Border Images

Imagenes de la Frontera, Border Images 1910-1916


Through August 17, 2009

The Mexican Revolution is a story of complicated shifting alliances
for the Mexican participants. The United States was interested in the stabilization of Mexico at the least and outright invasion and annexation at the most.

The images of the Mexican Revolution and the United States
Punitive Expedition in this exhibit are selected from a photo album that was compiled by Captain Donald A. Young of the U.S. 7th Cavalry. Captain Young was stationed at Fort Bliss north of El Paso
when he purchased this collection. The album contains 201 photographs of people and events on the border between the United States and Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. Otis Aultman sold the photographs in his El Paso studio. The 26 photographs represented in the exhibit depict prominent characters as well as scenes from the conflict. On display through July 2010.
