About This Item
Mexico: Imprenta de Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, 1905. About very good.. Broadsheet, approximately 15 x 11.75 inches. Trimmed slightly close at foot. A few scattered, small wormholes, not affecting text. Light toning and dust soiling. Scarce broadsheet that features a large, wood-engraved illustration of St. Jude (Judas Thaddeus) by José Guadalupe Posada and published by Antonio Vanegas Arroyo. The image shows Jude in full-length portrait, standing in a field before a rural town and church, and holding a bible and carpenter's square. The verso carries two additional, smaller woodcuts, and prints a text that relates two miracles effected by St. Jude and the Holy Infant of Atocha in the state of Coahuila. St. Jude, the primary subject of the broadsheet, is traditionally venerated as the patron of the poor and of lost causes, but more recently in Mexico has been adopted by narcotraficantes and gang members. We locate a small number of institutional copies of two variants -- the present example bears larger caption type and is a good example of Posada and Arroyo's devotional illustration and presswork.
