This is the first print from a portfolio comprising eighty-five linocuts published in 1947 by the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP; Workshop of Popular Graphic Art) in Mexico City. Created by sixteen artists, the images represent notable individuals and events leading up to the 1910 revolution, the armed conflict, and additional events through the end of World War II. Depicted here are Indigenous communities being driven from the farming land they owned and worked, one of the injustices that sparked the revolution.



Esta es la primera estampa de un porfolio integrado por ochenta y cinco grabados en linóleo publicados en 1947 por el Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP) en Ciudad de México. Los grabados, creados por dieciséis artistas, representan a personajes notables y describen acontecimientos importantes que desembocaron en la revolución de 1910, el conflicto armado y otros sucesos acaecidos hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En la imagen vemos cómo se expulsa a las comunidades indígenas de las parcelas que poseían y cultivaban, una de las injusticias que provocaron la revolución.
