Mexican Broadsides Collection
Collection
Identifier: PICT-000-425
Scope and Content
This collection consists of two series, containing approximately 135 half-sheet broadsides from Mexico. All the associated text is written in Spanish.
In Series I, each broadside contains an illustration from either a zinc etching, a type-metal engraving, a woodcut, or a photograph. Dates for this series range between 1895 and 1925. Some of the broadsides are entirely in verse, some report events such as comets, crime, natural disasters. The most represented printer is Antonio Vanegas Arroyo. Many of the illustrations were cut by José Guadalupe Posada.
The broadsides in Series II date between 1857 and 1872. Each is a poem on a religious theme and all but two include an engraving and decorated borders. One of the broadsides is printed in silver gilt on blue tissue, with the original manuscript attached. Most were published in Tenango del Valle, with four being published in Toluca, one in Tepexoxuca, and one without place of publication. Most were printed by M. Murguía or the Sociedad A. Regeneradora.
The collection was transferred from Manuscript Collections to Pictorial Collections in January 2000.
