| Description | Broadside shows masthead with musical instruments, sheet music, and books and two cherubs on recto. The text consist of three love songs: "Angels sighing," "The same as yesterday," and "The zenzontle." On the verso there is a depiction of a matador acknowledging a cheering crowd with a slain bull at his feet. The text title reads "Return of the skillful bullfighter Rodolfo Gaona to the bullfighting ring El Toreo in 1910." The text announces the bullfighting feats of Gaona, one of Mexico's most popular bullfighters and the creator of a cape movement which bears his name. The public kept up with Gaona, as they would any national hero, through his injuries in the bullfighting ring, his involvement with a woman who committed suicide, and his arrest as a suspect in the suicide. |
