Synopsis

Featuring nearly 275 woodcuts created for the Mexico City publisher A. Vanegas Arroyo, this collection reflects the breadth of occasions Posada illustrated, from disasters to political events. Alongside images that celebrate popular heroes such as Zapata, it also includes the artist’s renowned calaveras: animated skeleton figures associated with The Day of the Dead.

The contents are organised into themed sections including Calaveras, Disasters, National Events, Religion and Miracles, Don Chepito Marihuano, Chapbook Covers, Chapbook Illustrations, and Everyday Life, with an overall focus on art in a general context.
