Produktbeschreibung

José Guadalupe Posada (1852 1913) and Manuel Manilla (c. 1830 1895) were the foremost exponents of Mexican printmaking and engraving for the penny press. Over a period of decades they produced thousands of prints and illustrations of all different kinds, including engravings for one hundred and eighty children s books and stories. This volume offers a representative sampling of the best work in this area of these two pioneers in the art of illustrating Mexican children s books. It is divided into brief chapters that gather and classify the stories according to their protagonists: kings, princes, genies, and fairies; courageous children; infernal beings and the underworld; animal fables; and historical and legendary figures. The volume offers a panoramic vision, written for readers of all ages, of a little-known facet of this pair of matchless engravers. It contains one hundred reproductions, some them never seen since their original publication. Two special features of the innovative design are a facsimile edition of the children s tale El rey y sus tres hijos and a dust jacket that unfolds to form a small poster. The volume is number 15 in the Biblioteca de Ilustradores Mexicanos collection.
