Few details of this picture are fixed. The title comes from caption cards written by the Bain News Service, and the record gives no date, so the scene can be placed only by its title. It shows the aftermath of fighting in Mexico City, which saw street battles and sieges during the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s, when rival factions contested control of the capital. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, sold news photographs to newspapers, and its pictures of Mexico were made for American readers following unrest on their southern border. Treat the caption as a starting point rather than settled fact.
