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."

Broadside shows a male skeleton dressed in a charro outfit wielding a machete in a graveyard, apparently in the process of creating more skeletons--a crowd of skeletons surrounds him and skulls lie at his feet. The text block is decorated with four small skulls.

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 great cartoonist Posada lived through the Porfiriato years and brought a popular message to the mass of citizens who lived so miserably under the Díaz dictatorship. Although best-known for his Calavera images of whimsical skeletons, Posada lived through the early years of the Revolution and his hojas sueltas or broadsides captured much of the activity of the period: corridos to celebrate heroes and battles, or calaveras to satirize unpopular characters.
In this patriotic imagen tricolor, Posada brings back Independence to its true beginning, the 16th of September. Porfirio Diaz had merged independence celebrations with his own birthday on September 15th. Ironically, the Revolution did not do away with this Porfiriato tradition. To this day, Grito festivities, still take place on the eve of September the 16th (source: http://web.stanford.edu/~c0y0t8/celebratemexico/vivael16.html)
