La calavera del editor popular Antonio Vanegas Arroyo
Summary
Broadside shows the skeleton of publisher Antonio Vanegas Arroyo dressed in a bowler hat, dark glasses and a suit and sporting a long beard and mustache, standing in his print shop. Small skeletons work at aspects of publishing at his feet: printing, engraving, and proofreading. Additional skulls, a revolver and broadsides fill the foreground. Skeletons and skulls decorate the text block on verso, as well as the initials A. V. The verso text is headed "Farewell funeral," commemorating the death of Antonio Vanegas Arroyo.
