An extensive run of the "Biblioteca del Niño Mexicano" series of books for children. The Biblioteca consisted of five series: stories of indigenous tradition, discoveries and conquests, the colonial era, independence, and the modern era. José Guadalupe Posada made 440 drawings for the collection, and each issue consisted of sixteen pages with chromolithographed covers and three in-text illustrations. A complete run is around 105 total volumes, making this a set of around a third of the works. A unique opportunity to acquire a large collection of these ephemeral volumes.
