José Guadalupe Posada

プルケ醸造者 by José Guadalupe Posada

José Guadalupe Posada captures a lively scene at a 'Pulque Fino' bar, where a burly bartender serves a woman and a man in a sombrero. However, the poem below reveals a nasty secret about the pulque maker, Romero, accusing him of brewing his drink with cat urine and soap water! This humorous verse explains why Romero is now a 'calavera' (skeleton), showcasing Posada's famous style of using death and satire to critique the vices of everyday Mexican life in the early 20th century.
