Libidinoso
This minimalist page, marked number 13, features a tiny, ink-drawn profile of a mustachioed gentleman floating in the center of a large mustard-yellow block. Below, a playful Spanish poem puns on the word 'hojas' (leaves/pages), joking that one shouldn't look for them unless it's a tamale—a clever nod to both corn husks and book pages. While José Guadalupe Posada is world-famous for his skeletal 'Calaveras' that mocked the elite during the Mexican Revolution, this piece highlights his versatility as a commercial illustrator with a surprisingly modern, graphic design aesthetic.
