1910ref. 218961910. Large photograph archive circa 1910s-1930s documenting U.S. and Mexican military presence along the Rio Grande border and in Sinaloa during a period of revolution intervention and military modernization. The photographs depict soldiers fortifications and daily military activity across multiple locations providing primary-source visual evidence for the study of U.S.-Mexico border tensions the Mexican Revolution and interwar military development. One photograph identified en verso as taken at the "United States Immigration Station on the Rio Grande River - Border Service - 1916" situates the archive within the period of the Mexican Revolution and the U.S. Punitive Expedition while other images extend into the 1920s and 1930s reflecting continued military presence and surveillance. Archive comprises 22 vernacular silver gelatin photographs ranging from approximately 3.25 x 5.5 inches to 4.5 x 6.5 inches several with manuscript annotations en versos and studio stamps including "Laboratorio Vega Mazatlán Sin." and "La Foto Madero 42."

These photographs document a period of sustained militarization along the U.S.-Mexico border and within northern Mexico following the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution and subsequent stabilization efforts. The presence of both U.S. Border Service personnel and Mexican Army units illustrates parallel and overlapping military activities including patrol construction and occupation of strategic terrain.

1916ref. 221871916. Photographs of United States Army troops along the U.S.-Mexico border circa 1916 document military operations associated with the Pancho Villa Expedition led by John J. Pershing and record the deployment of cavalry and artillery units during a period of heightened border conflict. Produced in field conditions these images capture soldiers equipment and encampments in arid terrain providing direct visual evidence of U.S. military logistics mounted patrols and cross-border mobilization during the Mexican Border War. The archive supports research into early twentieth century warfare U.S.-Mexico relations and the operational structure of pre-World War I American military forces. Archive consists of approximately twenty two original silver gelatin photographs most measuring about 3.25 x 5.5 inches with several larger examples including some printed on postcard stock. The images depict cavalrymen in standard issue M1912 wool field shirts campaign hats riding boots and wrap puttees posed on horseback and alongside artillery equipment. Multiple photographs show tent encampments supply convoys horse and mule trains and field kitchens distributed across desert landscapes. One recurring unidentified soldier appears in several images including a view at a marked "Continental Divide Elevation 6900 ft Tombstone 25 Miles" and another near a roadside marker reading "Road constructed by Prison Labor A.D 1913-1914." Artillery scenes include horse drawn caissons transporting field guns and a close view of a 3 inch M1902 field gun with spoked wooden wheels and riveted barrel. Additional images show soldiers positioned beside artillery pieces and within organized camp environments documenting both operational readiness and daily military life. These photographs were created during a period when the U.S. Army relied heavily on mounted units and animal powered transport prior to widespread mechanization and they record the logistical demands of sustaining military presence across the borderlands. The Punitive Expedition marked a significant moment in U.S. military modernization as lessons learned from these operations informed subsequent participation in World War I. The images also document the physical infrastructure of border militarization including constructed roads and encampments within a contested geopolitical region. Minor edge wear and handling creases consistent with field use; images remain clear and well preserved; overall very good condition. This archive provides concentrated visual documentation of U.S. Army field operations and border conflict during a formative moment in American military history. unknown

1916ref. 12895Des Moines IA: Hebard-Showers Company September 1916. Panoramic photograph 8 x 37.5 inches with numerous captions in the negative. Rolled tightly. A few soft creases minor wear at bottom right corner. Very good. An unusually informative panorama of Brownsville and Matamoros taken from the American side of the Rio Grande during the heat of the Mexican Revolution. The photograph was produced by the form of Hebard-Showers here spelled Hedard-Showers likely scratched backwards in the negative of Des Moines Iowa. The image captures the scene along the Red River from a portion of Fort Brown in the east west to Brownsville's Union Station with the International Bridge visible downriver. Directly across the river from Brownsville is labeled "Santa Cruz Mexico" with Matamoros a bit further south. Other landmarks identified on the Brownsville side include the aforementioned Union Station and the International Bridge as well as Fort Brown a river landing the customs house and various locations for American state guard units. Near the landing is the Brownsville Transfer Company's building. More pertinent to the Mexican Revolution are some of the captions identifying locations on the Mexican side. These include "Casa Mata Fort or place of execution" "Blanco's Battlefield June 3rd 1913" and "Villa's Battlefield March 27 - Apr. 13 1915. 100 Killed." Also identified on the Mexican side are a Mexican bull ring the "Bone yard" and a river landing. Interestingly a small rowboat containing a few people can be seen approaching the Mexican side on the Rio Grande. Naturally Hebard-Showers Company mainly documented Des Moines and its surrounding areas but they shot a handful of Brownsville border views over several years at least between the present example and about 1921. SMU holds an example of the later panorama; comparisons between the present example and SMU's does reveal some changes in the area over the course of those five years and the present example includes many more detailed captions in the negative. Hebard-Showers Company, September unknown

The album documents an early twentieth-century traveler's movement through the southern border of the U.S. when El Paso and Ciudad Juárez were being promoted through rail travel tourism and cross-border entertainment and when American visitors regularly treated Mexican religious sites plazas bullrings and street life as part of a border excursion circuit. Its strongest historical value lies in the concentration of images tied to the Texas-Mexico border including Juárez bullfight and cockfight scenes street and church views and domestic group portraits in El Paso alongside a labeled photograph of a Santo Domingo Pueblo corn dance likely Kewa Pueblo north of Albuquerque showing non-Native travelers recording Indigenous life in the Southwest. Photograph album containing 81 original photographs most measuring approximately 2 x 3 to 4 x 5 inches mounted on thick black paper leaves in a cloth-bound album.
