This compilation of 187 multi-character prints and spot illustrations was drawn from a variety of authentic sources, including many works by José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913), Mexico's most illustrious graphic artist. Posada took the <i>calaveras</i> custom to new heights, transforming the cavorting skeletons into imaginative expressions of social and political satire.<br>A century later, these striking drawings, engravings, and etchings continue to pulse with vitality, offering modern designers a timeless source of royalty-free art. In addition to the book's lavish selection of illustrations, a bonus CD-ROM features all of the print images in JPEG and TIFF formats.
