Simpson describing the print. From diary of A. Moxon Simpson, Wednesday 20 June 1962: 'a print of a Cu engraving made about 1838, showing the head of the Hubbes of that date, with others, before Davoust, who had demanded the surrender of food stored in the city, and been refused; her ordered them to be shot, but was persuaded not to; the scenes 25 years after showed them all at peace, some in Mexico".
