I had never seen this lithograph illustrating Emperor Agustín de Iturbide's entry into Mexico City before, so thought that it might be new and of interest to other forum members. It shows portraits of 25 identified Mexican military leaders. It is listed on ebay currently:

Very cool! I had not seen that print (appears to be a lithograph) before. According to the seller, Dorothy Sloan, the print came from the album México Ilustrado, published sometime in the 1840s. This print will merit a close look. At least some of the portraits appear to have been based on images of these persons published in the 1840s; for example, in the first close-up, I believe Gen. V. Canalizo is in there, based on a Mexican-American War-era portrait of him that was published in several contemporary books.
