NOTES FOR A HISTORY OF PRINTING IN AGUASCALIENTES

To measure the deep love that Francisco Antúnez Madrigal had for typography and printing, it is worth mentioning that on a trip to Europe he visited Mainz, went to the Gutenberg monument and placed a floral tribute there on behalf of the printers of Aguascalientes.

His book NOTES FOR A HISTORY OF PRINTING IN AGUASCALIENTES  patiently awaited publication for more than forty years. It is a brief work, written in pleasant prose, that speaks to non-specialized readers about Juan María Gordoa, Antonio Valadés, Francisco Jiménez de Sandi, José Guadalupe Posada, Francisco Valadés, Trinidad Pedroza, the Chávez family, Ricardo Rodríguez Romo and some other characters who, like Professor Antúnez, from time to time become protagonists of the printed word.
