Puebla (Mexico : State)

This collection of two broadsides published by Antonio Vanegas Arroyo and illustrated by José Guadalupe Posada demonstrates entertainment papers that were circulated in Mexico at the turn of the nineteenth century. One broadside advertises a reenactment of the Third Battle of Puebla and one illustrated broadside, partially written in verse, reports on a sensational murder by a woman. Both broadsides are written in Spanish.

This collection contains three broadsides from Mexican government offices and one letter from an American during the Mexican War pertaining to decrees to raise funds, a decree in response to the Revolt of the Polkos, and the political tensions within Mexico surrounding the war. The broadsides are written in Spanish and the letter is written in English.
