Jose Guadalupe Posada print - Our Lady of Maguey
José Guadalupe Posada (1851–1913) was a Mexican illustrator whose work has come to define his country during the era he lived. This is an illustration from one of the many broadsides (news sheets) he decorated for publisher Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, blown up to almost three-feet wide and reproduced as a silkscreen print. It’s one of a series of three depicting a news story wherein the Virgin of Guadalupe was seen in an agave. This print measures 20” x 26” — it’s smaller than all of our other prints.
This print measures 20” x 26” — it’s smaller than all of our other prints. We originally printed this at the same size as our other prints, and it was teh first to sell out. When we went to reprint, we selected this smaller size because … man, those large prints are hard to handle!
