Faced with an Aztec revolt against their rule, forces under the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes fight their way out of Tenochtitlan at the heavy cost. Known to the Spanish as La Noche Triste, or “the Night of Sadness,” many soldiers drowned in Lake Texcoco when the vessel carrying them and Aztec treasures hoarded by CortÝs sank. Montezuma II, the Aztec emperor who had become merely a subject of Cortes in the previous year, was also killed during the struggle; by the Aztecs or the Spanish, it is not known.

Bartolomé de las Casas; c. 1484 – 18 July 1566) was a 16th-century Spanish colonist who acted as a historian and social reformer before becoming a Dominican friar. He was appointed as the first resident Bishop of Chiapas, and the first officially appointed "Protector of the Indians". His extensive writings, the most famous being A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies and Historia de Las Indias, chronicle the first decades of colonization of the West Indies. He described the atrocities committed by the colonizers against the indigenous peoples (source: wikipedia).

Posada illustrated many small booklets, typically less than twenty pages long and measuring roughly nine centimeters by twelve centimeters. These small publications are known in English as chapbooks; in Spanish, they are known as Cuadernos. The chapbooks covered a variety of subjects including recipes, short stories, songs, and plays. Front covers usually were illustrated with an image related to the content of the chapbook.
Between 1899 and 1901, Posada illustrated for the Biblioteca del Niño Mexicano series — Posada’s only series that appeared in full color. There were a total of 110 chapbook-sized booklets printed. The booklets, written by Heriberto Frías, tell the history of Mexico through short fablelike stories that include Moctezuma and Aztec society before the arrival of the Spanish; the Spanish conquest and the role of the Catholic Church; and the struggle for Mexican independence.
