Pancho Villa Mexican Revolution Collage of Photos
Actual photographs from the days of violent Mexican Revolution. Villa was a killer, a bandit and unmerciful revolutionary leader who advocated for the poor and wanted agrarian reform by any means. Francisco 'Pancho' Villa was wanted 'dead or alive' after he led his army of bloodthirsty bandits on a raid across the border into Columbus, New Mexico, on March 10, 1916, and murdered 16 Americans. In 1920, towards the end of the revolution, Villas army of bandits dwindled and he negotiated and Amnesty with the Mexican government and retired his murderous pursuits, only to be assassinated in a Mexican ambush in 1923. Each image shows Pancho Villa and scenes of the results of the Mexican Revolution and civil war. Some are gruesome as proof of the violent times. Each photograph is individually black matted to fit 9.25"x6.5", precisely in areas of the frame. The black metal frame measures 36"x36" square and is from the estate of a New Mexico collection.
