Linocut on paper, 12 in. x 8.5 in. Taller de Gráfica Popular, Mexico City, MX. From the portfolio, 450 Years of Struggle: Tribute to the Mexican People / 450 Años De Lucha: Homenaje al Pueblo Mexicano. Not without reason, the figure of Antonio López de Santa Anna—eleven times President during the first stage of independent Mexico—is considered one of the most abominable in our history. He was, in his long military and political career, a realist, a supporter of independence, a monarchist, a republican. He was the typical caudillo of those late times. He ruled according to the reaction. He protected militarism and clericalism and culminated his disastrous performance in the war with the United States of America, in which Mexico lost half of its original territory.
