Calavera Clerical

Calavera Clerical Jose Guadalupe Posada... Calavera Clerical (woodblock, from Monografia; las Obras de Jose Guadalupe Posada. n.c. : n.p., 1930. Page 179.) From The Fantastic in Art & Fiction at Cornell University. "...Cornell's library holdings in several areas provide a deep well from which to draw for a project such as this one. The incomparable Witchcraft collection, the History of Science collection, a recent grouping of Russian Fables and Fairy Tales now on deposit in Kroch library and the serendipitous discoveries that seem so readily to occur once the search gets under way, have resulted in a data-base of nearly 300 images, distributed among several general rubriques or thematic clusters, with search and cross-referencing capabilities."
