16 September – Mexico Independence Day. Immediate results were not forthcoming in 1810 after Hidalgo’s Cry (“el grito”) to rise up against the Crown. It took years of struggle, but in 1821 Mexico gained independence from Spain and declared slavery illegal in its domain. Subsequent conquest by British incursions from the south and US invasions from the north and east, as well as local resistance to government from Mexico City such as the Texas situation, reduced the land base of the country.

2020 is a Leap Year, and a MoPrints year. If you’re in the print lane of our artistic pursuit, be getting’ ready for the big event. We’re looking forward to it.
