Cover of the 'Gaceta Callejera' reporting on the continuation of anti-reelection riots
La Gaceta Callejera informaba sobre acontecimientos destacados que tenían lugar en Ciudad de México. Cuando se publicó este número en mayo de 1892, había una considerable oposición a la reelección del presidente Porfirio Díaz. La imagen y el texto describen los enfrentamientos violentos entre la policía montada y los manifestantes a lo largo de un periodo de tres días. Durante la década de 1890, Díaz contó con un amplio respaldo por parte de los mexicanos de clase media, algo que queda reflejado en este artículo, que pone el foco en las molestias que las «gentes pacíficas» tuvieron que soportar durante las protestas.
