José Guadalupe Posada drew a female skeleton, the Calavera Garbancera. According to Excélsior, the figure mocked people who “buscaban aparentar una posición social superior y renegaban de sus orígenes” (tried to appear to have a higher social position and denied their origins). Today she is known as La Catrina.
Posada died on January 20, 1913. According to the same report, the first documented printing of the image dates from October 1913, in a broadsheet of the Vanegas Arroyo workshop.
