Printed
Broadside. Oblong Folio, Mexico, July 19, 1872. Being a Death Notice of the "Mexican
Washington," President Benito C. Juarez. Translated in full:
"The Constitutional Town
Hall of Mexico has the sorrow to inform its inhabitants in the capital, of the decease of the WORTHY
MERITORIOUS PATRIOT C. BENITO JUAREZ PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF MEXICO.
The supreme law
has been carried out. The man of bronze, he who consummated our second independence, has died. The
Mexican Nation and all civilized countries that love freedom, are in mourning before the remains of
the great Patriot who has stopped existing; we can only venerate the memory of the Mexican
Washington".
Very Good. Document exhibits faint "mirror" impression of some of
its own lettering across the top, where it has been folded in half, and over time picked up partial
lines of its own text in the blank areas between printed lines. Remnants of a seal in the lower
right corner.
Estimated Value $1,000-1,500.
