The year 2010 marks the 200th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, pivotal events in Mexico's struggle for self-governance. In collaboration with The University's Graduate Studies program and the Consulado General de México en Austin, the Ransom Center will display original materials from its collections that illuminate these historic touchstones.
The exhibition will feature such rarities as the original 1529 document appointing Hernán Cortés Captain General of New Spain; unpublished letters exchanged between the ill-fated Ferdinand Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico and his wife Carlotta; original documentary photographs of the Mexican Revolution along with period broadsides illustrated by José Guadalupe Posada; and artistic responses to the long history of Mexico's conquest and revolt.
