Description
-
Tampoco is the 36th plate in the Desastres de la Guerra print series. The focal point of this print is a man being hung on a large tree branch. The man is dead, having been hung, as his neck is tilted downward with the heft of the rope that has snapped it. The man wears a white poncho, and is the brightest shade in the composition. In the right of the print, a man in a military officer’s uniform watches the hanged man intently. The military officer’s outfit is reminiscent of a Napoleonic officer’s garb. The officer looks on intently, with his arm resting on his cheek, apparently viewing the hanging as a pleasant scene. The block that the officer is resting his arm on appears to have evidence of writing on it. If there was writing, it is not apparent if it was ever legible. In the background of the print, two other corpses hang from trees, also limp with death.

For shorthand, the print will be split into 9 sections, going from Top (T), Center (C) , Bottom (B), and Left (L), center (C) , Right (R) . Condition cannot be analyzed at this time, as I have not interacted with the physical print.
