A departing revolutionary and his grieving sweetheart form the subject here, as the title, *Despedida de un maderista y su triste amada*, makes clear: a farewell between a follower of Francisco I. Madero and the woman he leaves behind. José Guadalupe Posada, the Mexican printmaker who worked in zinc etching and cheap broadsheets, turned scenes like this from the Madero-led uprising against Porfirio Díaz into popular images for everyday readers. The caption card carries no date, and the record cites Ron Tyler's 1979 book *Posada's Mexico* as a reproduction source, so the exact year of printing remains unverified.
