1867
Scope and Contents
When the French army withdrew from Mexico in 1867, Maximilian garrisoned himself and his followers in Querétaro. After the
city fell to
republican troops he was captured and eventually executed by firing squad on June 19 in the Cerro de las Campanas. Although
close access to the
execution was not permitted, one of Franois Aubert's studio operatives photographed Maximilian's bullet-riddled clothing,
Maximilian in his
coffin, the members of the firing squad, and views of the execution site as well as views of Queretaro associated with Maximilian.
Aubert, in
accordance with the prevailing studio practices of the time, took credit for the photographs. The images circulated widely
in cartes-de-visite
bearing the imprint of numerous Mexican and European photographers.
