Mexico
1898
Printed broadside
Height: 30.5 in / 77.5 cm; Width: 22 1/4 in / 56.5 cm
Provenance: Posada Family, Mexico City
A large printed broadside announcing the Independence Day program for Colonia Morelos in Mexico City, dated September 14, 1898. The program lists civic ceremonies for September 15 and 16, including the raising of the national flag, public music, processions, fireworks, decorated streets, and official speeches.
Colonia Morelos, now closely associated with the historic barrio of Tepito, lay just north of the city’s old center and belonged to the dense popular urban world of late 19th-century Mexico City. Printed by Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, the broadside connects local civic celebration, popular typography, and the print culture later associated with José Guadalupe Posada and the years leading toward the Mexican Revolution.
