DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

These two images — Katrina and Pancho Villa –are typical Day of the Dead Images. Katrina is a floozy, dressed with a plume hat and fancy clothes. She is the leader of the parade. Pancho Villa is a typical heroic image used in day of the dead ceremonies, popularized in Mexico since the turn of the 20th century. These images are adaptations of drawings by Posada, an early 20th century Mexican artist.
