Description: Calavera oaxaqueña by en:José Guadalupe Posada. Print shows a male skeleton dressed in a charro outfit wielding a machete among skulls and skeletons. Includes song lyrics and cartoon skeleton figures. Calaveras (skulls) are connected with the Mexican Día de los Muertos, and Posada was the acknowledged master of the imagery of calaveras. This image is named Calavera oaxaqueña (the skull from Oaxaca), likely after the rural get-up of the main figure.
