Erstausgabe
[Mexican art] FIRST EDITION. Small octavo (16 x 12cm), pp.160. Filled with reproductions of Posada's prints and engravings. Publisher's black cloth, demon motif in silver to upper board, titles in silver to spine, and publisher's logo in silver to lower board. Accompanied by two larger folded prints, a postcard, and three loose illustrations. All housed inside a pictorial yellow box. Fine, as-new. Posada was an engraver and lithographer who had an extensive partnership with Antonio Vanegas Arroyo - publisher of gazettes and brodsheets, which allowed for much creative freedom in the artist's work. Embodying the black comedy of Mexico, he illustrated monsters, penny dreadfuls, advertisements, theatre programmes, political cartoons, satirical comics and most famously, 'calaveras' - skeletons. His work is both grotesque and endlessly fascinating.
