Title	El cancionero popular. Num. 2. Jesus Negrete, El Tigre de Santa Julia.
Creator	José Guadalupe Posada
Subject	Mexico; Posada Jose Guadalupe 1851 1913; corridos; Brigands and robbers--Mexico;
Description	Pictorial broadside that features a full-length portrait of Jesús Negerete in sombrero and charro outfit. Half sheet, printed recto and verso, salmon paper. Zinc etching. In "Posada's Mexico" (Washington: Library of Congress, 1979) the author Ron Tyler reproduces a photograph that may have been the basis for this etching and states on page 16 & 17: "One of the most famous of the bandits that infested Mexico during the early twentieth century was Jesús Negrete, called 'the Tiger of Santa Julia.' He had a record of crimes that was virtually unending.... Negrete was finally arrested when a member of the reserves received a tip and was able to surprise him on a cochineal plantation in Puerto Pinto de Tacubaya. But the story did not end there. Negrete escaped from Belén with four other prisoners soon after he was jailed. Finally, in 1908 he was convicted and sentenced to die. His appeals were exhausted in 1910. Meanwhile, he had become a model prisoner, learning to read and write and make cabinets. The warden of Belén testified to his progress and Negrete apparently expected to receive a pardon from Díaz, but the execution order was carried out on December 21, 1910."
