Description
Broadside, illustrated with woodcut of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Contains a sonnet offering thanks to Mexico's patroness the Virgin of Guadalupe for Mexico's recently-won independence from Spain. The broadside is undated, but the references to the liberation of Mexico from Spain along with paper and typographical evidence point to an 1820s publication.
