Summary

Broadside shows, on verso, a bust portrait of bullfighter Rodolfo Gaona. The text includes three songs: "When love dies;" "Gaona dies or not," which conveys how Gaona was gored July 5, 1909 and whether or not he has cheating death; and "The palm," in which a scortched palm tree is used as a metaphor for a heart being hurt due to love denied.
