A soldier fallen from his horse

Creator name: Jose Guadalupe Posada
Date text: 1911
Medium: Zincograph
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY
Inventory number: 30.82.10

Image included in the broadsheet "México, Febrero de 1913," from "Gaceta Callejera" (Imprenta de A. Vanegas Arroyo, posthumous print of 1913, ca. 1911).

An inscription in pencil on the mount sheet suggests that this represents the death of Emilio Zapata. This is not possible, for Zapata died in 1919, years after Posada died.
