During the late Porfiriato, political cartooning and print making developed as popular forms of art. The most well known print maker of that period is [[José Guadalupe Posada]], whose satirical prints, particularly featuring skeletons, circulated widely.<ref>Barajas, Rafael. ''Myth and Mitote: The Political Caricature of José Guadalupe Posada and Manuel Alfonso Manila''. Mexico City: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2009</ref> Posada died in early 1913, so his caricatures are only of the early revolution. One published in ''El Vale Panchito'' entitled "oratory and music" shows Madero atop a pile of papers and the Plan of San Luis Potosí, haranguing a dark-skinned Mexican whose large sombrero has the label ''pueblo'' (people). Madero is in a dapper suit. The caption reads "offerings to the people to rise to the presidency."<ref>Ades, Dawn and Alison McClean, ''Revolution on Paper: Mexican Prints 1910–1960''. Austin: University of Texas Press 2009, p. 18.</ref> Political cartoons by Mexicans as well as Americans caricatured the situation in Mexico for a mass readership.<ref>Britton, John A. ''Revolution and Ideology Images of the Mexican Revolution in the United States''. Louisville: The University Press of Kentucky, 1995.</ref> Political broadsides including songs of the revolutionary period were also a popular form of visual art. After 1920, Mexican muralism and printmaking were two major forms of revolutionary art. Prints were easily reproducible and circulated widely, while murals commissioned by the Mexican government necessitated a journey to view them. Printmaking "emerged as a favored medium, alongside government sponsored mural painting among artists ready to do battle for a new aesthetic as well as a new political order."<ref>Ades, Dawn. "The Mexican Printmaking Tradition, c. 1900–1930" in ''Revolution on Paper'', p. 11.</ref> Diego Rivera, better known for his painting than printmaking, reproduced his depiction of Zapata in the murals in the Cortés Palace in Cuernavaca in a 1932 print.<ref>Ades, ''Revolution on Paper'', catalogue 22, pp. 76–77</ref>
