Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection is comprised of 128 chapbooks printed in Mexico. Most are printed by Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, and many are illustrated by José Guadalupe Posada. The chapbooks cover various topics, including cooking, home remedies, riddles, fortune telling, and Catholic celebrations, devotions, and prayers. Many of the chapbooks are collections of song lyrics. Several provide instructions for a wide array of activities such as writing appropriate love letters, interpreting codes and symbols (of flowers, fans, the position of one's handkerchief, and the like), interpreting dreams, and magic tricks. Embroidery patterns are also included in two books. Several books provide one-act plays to be performed by adults, children, or puppets. Antonio Vanegas Arroyo began publishing in 1880; the chapbooks date from then to 1919, with the exception of one 1967 reprint. Although chapbooks are individually numbered in the contents list, the pieces themselves are not numbered. All materials are in Spanish.
