Carlos Merida "9- Desposadas de Tuxpan - Estado de Jalisco" 1941

Tuxpan de la sal is a small town in Jalisco. The title translates as "Brides, or Brides-To-Be of Tuxpan": a sign of just how specific and and lovingly detailed this project of Merida's was, how the documenting of vanishing folk-lore inspired true art.

12 3/4" x 17 3/4", some dust marks and slight discoloration at the edges from contact with its old frame.
