Unsigned. 7.2 x 12.6 cm. Tyler 76: "This broadside, which probably is better known in Mexico as El corrido de los animales, is similar to songs such as 'Froggie Went A-Courtin' in the English tradition of animal ballads. . . Although Vanegas Arroyo employed poets to write verses for him, the 'versos muy extravagantes' are based upon regional ballads that probably originated in Spain." [Print 999-019-0101]

Upon arrival in Mexico City, he found that publishers were more interested in illustrations that could be printed in the same press run as type. This unsigned series combining lithography and type may represent a transitional phase in Posada's career.
