José Guadalupe Posada

薬剤師 by José Guadalupe Posada

Here we have a delightfully tiny illustration by the legendary Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada, tucked away on page 78 like a visual secret. The drawing depicts a pharmacist diligently working at his mortar and pestle, surrounded by a vast expanse of yellow space. The Spanish text below adds a cheeky, poetic twist, advising readers to 'shake well before using'—a practical instruction for medicine that doubles as a witty metaphor for life. While Posada is world-famous for his skeletal *Calaveras*, this piece showcases his sharp, satirical eye for everyday professions within the realm of social realism.
