Scene in Vera Cruz During the Bombardment. E. B. and E. C. Kellogg, 1847. This lithograph of the bombing of Veracruz, produced by a Hartford, Connecticut, firm, is one of the few American-made images of the war that visually represented the suffering of Mexican civilians. This vision of the widespread destruction of the city by American artillery and the deaths of women and children was most likely based on reports by soldiers and embedded journalists that appeared in American newspapers after the battle. Yale Collection of Western Americana, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. (photo credit 8.3)
