Summary

Broadside has two separate images: a man serenading two women from the street upper center, and a full-length figure of a gentleman tipping his top hat lower center. The text on the front and on the verso is the traditional Mexican birthday serenade song whose lyrics have been changed to declare one's love to a young woman. A second song titled "Mary of the heavens," referring to the Virgin Mary, appears on the verso.
