La Calavera Catrina had its origin as a zinc etching created by the Mexican printmaker and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada (1852–1913). The image is usually dated c. 1910-12. Its first certain publication date is 1913 when it appeared in a satiric broadside (a newspaper-sized sheet of paper) as a photo-relief etching.

La Catrina is a ubiquitous character associated with the Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos), both in Mexico and around the world. Additionally, it has become an icon of Mexican identity, sometimes used in opposition to the Halloween Jack-o'-lantern.

This is not my original design. but I cannot find its origin any longer. I have had this file for several years.
