executions

This is not a photograph of Japan.

"Piracy through a Barbarian Lens" is a paper which discusses this incident, this photo, and their treatment by historians and anthropologists. I don't see it published anywhere, but the author could be contacted.

I have written to the author.

PANCHO VILLA'S ARRANGEMENT WITH THE MUTUAL FILM CO.: "In January 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood's first Mexican superstar when he signed an exclusive contract with the Mutual Film Corporation. In return for $25,000, he agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight whenever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. "Now the subject of an HBO film starring Antonio Banderas (And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself), Villa is one of the main protagonists in Margarita de Orellana's vivid account of the American movie industry's fascination with the events of the Mexican Revolution. "Through memoir accounts, newspaper reports, and analysis of the films themselves, "Filming Pancho" reveals much about how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how the film images reinforced and justified American expansionism and racial and social prejudices." --From a description, on Amazon, of a documentary movie of Hollywood's treatment of the Mexican Revolution. (The DVD is available for purchase from various Amazon vendors.) _____________________________________________________________________ More Mexican Revolution coverage by Mutual Film Company:

Another Bain/LOC photo from Ojinaga, in the 1914 photostream:

El 10 de enero de 1914 Villa derrota a los federales (huertistas) en Ojinaga, estos después de cruzar el río,son apresados por tropas americanas en Presidio, Texas. Esta foto corresponde a ese hecho. ¿o estaban esperando a que los soldados americanos les dieran muerte? WASP means White Anglo Saxon Protestant Dr. Roberto Duarte

Fake news
