This is a portfolio of twenty-four nineteenth century prints re-printed in 1938 by Carlos Alvarado Lang (professor of printmaking, Mexico University) (see 46.46.452). The plates then existed, and presumably still do, in the Archivo de la Escuela de Artes Plásticas. Each print is accompanied by a sheet of tissue paper on which is printed details about it. The portfolio contains a 15 page brochure that has a prologue by Manuel Toussaint, a text regarding printmaking and the Academia of San Carlos during the nineteenth century by Justino Fernández, bibliography, and a list of the prints. 250 portfolios were printed of which this is number 181. The prints and printed material are housed in the original pink cloth portfolio that is stamped with the title 'Grabados Mexicanos del Siglo XIX'.
