Within the many activities of Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913), one of Mexico's most prolific engravers, the illustrations for the ?penny chapbooks?, which includes song books, children's books and ?how to? manuals, hold a special place within his body of work. This title, which imitates the chapbooks in design and form, offers a seldom seen glimpse of the artist's many talents. It is accompanied by a text that reveals colorful anecdotes about the artist's life and this unique genre of Mexican graphic art.
