The Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada (1852–1913) is best known today for his popularization of calaveras — fully-dressed, grinning skeletons posed as if in the full flush of life. Calaveras have come to symbolize the Mexican Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, and, in some sense, Mexico itself. But they are just part of Posada’s prolific output. Over the course of a career estimated to have produced over 20,000 individual engravings, Posada developed a reputation for his biting poli
