Calavera comercial. Estas son las calaveras de todos los comerciantes, les llegó la de deveras por tramposos y farsantes
Summary
Broadside shows skeletons patronizing a merchant skeleton selling such items as candles and sugar skulls for the Day of the Dead celebration. The text, a calavera in verse, conveys how "la flaca" (death) is making her rounds amongst all the food vendors and taking them to the graveyard.
