Lienzo de Tlaxcalla
Lienzo de Tlaxcalla is a colour lithograph plate book published in Mexico in 1892 by Alfredo Chavero, reproducing a pre-Hispanic-style Tlaxcalan pictorial manuscript with lithography by Genaro Lopez. The plates show painted scenes of Tlaxcalan warfare, with horsemen, shields and captives drawn in flat outline and ochre, yellow and green washes on cream paper, offering a designer a clear model of early codex-style narrative layout with place-name captions set above each scene.
