The artwork is notable for its meticulous attention to the architectural and natural details of the cityscape, reflecting Chapman's keen observational skills and his ability to render a sense of place with authenticity. The painting likely portrays the city after the tumultuous years of the Reform War and the French intervention in Mexico, during a time when the country was undergoing modernization and urban development under the rule of President Porfirio Díaz.

In "A View of Mexico City, 1878," Chapman's use of light and shadow, as well as his careful selection of vantage points, suggests an artist who was not only a skilled painter but also an astute student of the urban environment.
