Title: Soneto. Quien Sino Tu, Dulcisima Maria... - A Sonnet to the Virgin of Guadalupe Author: ** Place: [Mexico] Publisher: Date: [c. 1821] Description: Broadside, approximately 8¼x6". Illustrated with a woodcut vignette of the Virgin of Guadalupe. A beautifully printed broadside sonnet offering thanks to Mexico's patroness the Virgin of Guadalupe for Mexico's recently-won independence from Spain. The broadside is striking for its sharp clear typography and decorated printed border as well as the prominent woodcut depiction of the Virgin. Miguel Hidalgo rallied the country with his grito, or call to independence, incorporating the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his standard. Although the broadside is not dated, the reference to Maria (or Guadalupe) having liberated Mexico from the Spaniards and the paper and typography of the piece point to an 1820s publication. Only two copies located by OCLC. Rare. Lot Amendments Condition: Fine. Item number: 212917
