Description: Print from 1943 showing a detail from a ca. 1910 broadside depicting Don Quixote. José Guadalupe Posada (1851 - 1913) was a Mexican illustrator known for his satirical and politically acute calaveras. Deriving from the Spanish word for "skulls", these calaveras were illustrations featuring skeletons which would, after Posada's death, become closely associated with the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.
