Calaveras de coyotes y meseras - Public domain graphic arts, Library of Congress
Summary
Broadside shows a cat, with a skull for a face, standing on its hind legs holding two skulls. Additional skulls are scattered on the ground beside it. People run away in fear in the background. The text, in calavera verse, conveys how waitresses are out to get customers once they are drunk, and also how con men go for any man's money. The text block is decorated with four skulls.
