This broadside is in the collections of the Library of Congress. The description below is from the LC: "Title: Corrido de la cucaracha que no ha salido a pasear, porque no tiene cartoncitos que gastar
Title Translation: Ballad of la cucaracha who hasn't been out because she dosn't have money to spend
Creator(s): Antonio Vanegas Arroyo (Firm), publisher.
Broadside shows full-length figure of a simply dressed woman with a shawl around her shoulders and hands on her hips. The song conveys the story of la cucaracha. Cucaracha literally means cockroach, but during the Mexican Revolution this term was synonymous with "camp follower" and referred to women who would follow and live with their male partners in the war camps. The song further explains the hardships of camp life: no starch, no ironed clothes, no money, no soap. In the city, la cucaracha does not do well either, she no longer has money to go out to the bullring."
This fictional silent film narrates the story of the Talamantes family who are executed for being supporters of the revolution. The widow of Talamantes vows and secures the revenge in Revolutionary North of Mexico. Despite its fictional nature, it is believed that the film is based on real-life events. Zuzana M. Pick provides us with a glimpse of the themes from this film that was produced by Kalem Film Company in her book, "Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution: Cinema and the Archive."

Se oyó un chiflido largo y comenzó la tracatera allá lejos (…) Para la siguiente descarga tuvimos que esperar. Alguno de nosotros gritó “¡Viva Pedro Zamora!” (…) Luego comenzó la corretiza por entre los matorrales. Sentíamos las balas pajueleándonos los talones (…) (Rulfo, 2017: 71)."
