José Guadalupe Posada (Mexican, 1851–1913).
Stanford Curator of Latin Americana, Adan Griego writes, "Posada lived through the almost uninterrupted 30 years of the Porfirio Diaz dictatorship or porfiriato and his calavera images became the venue to satirize the excesses of Mexican bourgeois society. French artist Jean Charlot encountered Posada’s work while visiting Mexican muralist Diego Rivera in the 1920s and is credited with providing a wider audience for the satirical artist."

Shows Francisco I. Madero riding on the horse. With Zapata standing by his side holding the flag of Mexico. It belongs to the broadsheets category of Posada's print.
Francisco Madero rose to become the most popular contender to the presidency of Porfirio Díaz. As the 1910 elections drew near, Díaz imprisoned Madero and won re-election for his eighth term. Following the election Madero escaped from prison and fled to Texas where he plotted a revolution. In early 1911 he re-entered Mexico at Ciudad Juárez, took command of the revolutionary armies, and swiftly progressed in a grand march across Mexico. His triumphal entry into the capital was celebrated with vigorous exaltation.

The image to the left is the way Posada's workshop looked about 1899. It is one of two photo images we have of the artist. Posada is on the right and it is generally agreed that the young man is Posada's son Juan Sabino Posada Vela who died in 1900. In our search for Posada we now believe that we know the identity of the third person in the photo. In the image below we see historians Agustín Sánchez González and Helia Emma Bonilla Reyna in front of the workshop as it is today. It is about three blocks from Mexico City's zocolo.
