Gran mole de calaveras. Aquí está el sabroso mole, el mole más bien guisado; métanle recio toditos que sólo vale un centavo

Broadside, on recto, shows skeletons having a picnic in a graveyard, embellished with decorative elements of small skulls and two grim reapers. Verso shows five skeleton images, with four of them as food vendors making their products. The text on the recto and verso is written in calavera verse and mentions individuals' first names and their trades, and pokes fun at them by pointing out their idiosyncrasies (e.g. gossiper, flirt, etc.).
