The title pairs Brownsville, Texas, with nearby Mexico, so this print documents a border zone rather than a single landmark, with the Rio Grande as the dividing line between the two places. Its date of about 1915 falls at the height of the Mexican Revolution, when fighting, troop movements and refugees repeatedly reached the river towns and disrupted the cross-border trade that linked Brownsville to Matamoros. The record does not name a photographer, so the picture is best read as a general record of life on the border during those turbulent years.
