English: Contemporary painting of the Battle of Puebla, fought in Mexico on 5 May 1862 (from which the Cinco de Mayo celebrations originate) between the forces of the French Empire and the Mexican Republic. In this battle, the French army, which was invading Mexico in order to overthrow its liberal republican government and install a monarchy friendly to their own interests, was defeated by a smaller force of the Mexican army.
A text at the bottom-left corner of the painting reads "A derecha la batalla ga[na]da a los france[se]s el 5 de mayo de [18]62. Garita de Am[ozoc]" (To the right, the battle which was won against the French on 5 May 1862. Garita of Amozoc).
Español: Pintura contemporánea de la batalla de Puebla, librada en México el 5 de mayo de 1862 (de donde se originan las celebraciones del Cinco de Mayo) entre las fuerzas del Imperio francés y de la República mexicana. En la batalla, el ejército francés, que estaba invadiendo a México para derrocar a su gobierno republicano liberal e instaurar una monarquía afín de sus propios intereses, fue derrotado por una fuerza de menor tamaño del ejército mexicano.
Un texto en la esquina inferior izquierda de la pintura dice "A derecha la batalla ga[na]da a los france[se]s el 5 de mayo de [18]62. Garita de Am[ozoc]".
