Painted in 1848 during the height of the Mexican- American War by Richard Caton Woodville, “War News from Mexico" shows how newspapers and the "penny press" were once the latest in high-technology, bringing information to millions. This genre-scene depicts a variety of everyday Americans—including immigrants, men, women, children, and African Americans—and their reactions to the man reading from the newspaper on the steps of a hotel.
