I. Michaud, good condition, lithograph
Hello, this item is an original 19th-century Mexican lithograph published by I. Michaud, titled “Almacén de estampas junto al correo calle del refugio en la memorable jornada del 15 al 27 de julio de 1840 (Méjico).” The print documents the uprising known as “La Rebelión de las Jornadas de Julio,” a significant political conflict in Mexico City during President Anastasio Bustamante’s rule. The reference to “imprenta lito callejón elara N8” confirms it was printed by one of Mexico’s early lithographic workshops, active around the 1830s–1840s, when lithography was a new medium in Latin America, often used for both political documentation and popular imagery.
This type of work is historically valuable as it reflects early Mexican print culture and political unrest of the era. Lithographs by I. Michaud and contemporaries such as Decaen or Garres stand as key visual records of 19th-century Mexico. In good condition and properly framed, this example would have an estimated market value between USD 1,200 and 2,000, depending on paper preservation and provenance.
