Los Mexicanos Pintados por Si MismosMexico City, 1845-1855[DE DIOS ARIAS, Juan (1828-1886) et al.] Los Mexicanos Pintados por Si Mismos; Tipos y Costumbres Nacionales por varios autores. [Mexico City:] M. Murguia [1845-1855]. Scarce Mexican costume book, "a great classic of types and customs," in a contemporary Mexican binding (Mathes). The lithographs by Andrés Campillo and Hesiquio Iriarte in this collection depict Mexican trades, from midwives and typesetters to cleaners and cowboys—some with a lightly satirical perspective. Although inspired by the 1844 Los Españoles pintados por sí mismos printed in Madrid, itself modeled on the French Les Français peints par eux-mêmes, the present work adds detailed backgrounds to its figures and includes many new "types," innovating on the traditionally European genre and providing explanatory text reflecting on Mexican national identity from an insider perspective. It is sometimes described as having 33 plates, not counting the lithographic title and the El Panadero plate which is present here, but sometimes absent. Not in Abbey, Colas, or Lipperheide. Sabin 48577; Palau 167479 (calling for only 33 plates); Mathes, Mexico on Stone, pp. 28. Quarto (242 x 164mm). Chromolithographic title, 34 lithographic plates (first lithograph trimmed at lower caption, some spotting and toning, a few text leaves with short tears). Contemporary Mexican red gilt-stamped morocco gift binding, silk doublures (rebacked preserving original spine panel, doublures stained).
