Issue of the periodical 'Anthropos' (volume 1, issue no.2 for July-October 1947) published from the Escuela Nacional de Antropologia e Historia in Mexico City; with front cover and 21 plates by Pompeo Audivert, mostly illustrating an article written by him on printmaking techniques
The anthropology journal Anthropos circulated articles on art and politics. Audivert created the cover for this issue and contributed a long article on technical aspects of printmaking that features reproductions of a number of his works. Like many journals published in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century, Anthropos was short-lived; it survived only two issues.

Audivert creó la portada de este número, en el que también se incluye un largo artículo suyo sobre los aspectos técnicos del grabado con reproducciones de varias de sus obras. Como otras muchas revistas publicadas en México durante la primera mitad del siglo xx, Anthropos tuvo una vida corta y solo se publicaron dos números.
