The Eduardo Guerrero Press

Among the presses of the Mexican capital, Eduardo Guerrero’s print shop stands out for having filled the void left by the late Antonio Vanegas Arroyo. Both publishers also worked simultaneously, as we know that Guerrero’s press was established around 1900 , even if his period of major productivity spanned from 1910 to 1934.
      Already in 1921, the Guerrero press was acknowledged as one of the major popular publishers by Gerardo Murillo—better known as Dr. Atl—in his work Las artes populares en México:

The Guerrero house, located in calle Correo Mayor no. 12, is very old and publishes “corridos” and contemporary songs. Its publishings are sold in the capital and in the states of the centre. They are very much appreciated by street vendors who sell them at markets and fairs. They are printed on very ordinary polychrome paper.

As pointed out by Murillo, the Guerrero press was known to publish mostly verses, be it corridos, lyric songs, or jocular and satirical verses. Therefore, at least as far as we can tell by the prints contained in this archive, he does not seem to have continued the news-related prints that were staple in Vanegas Arroyo. This is due to factors such as the consolidation of the industrial press and the specialisation of certain newspapers and magazines in sensationalism and crime.

      Another shift in the editorial dynamics of the Eduardo Guerrero press, in contrast with others, is the question of authorship. In many of the broadsheets and chapbooks featuring songs published by Guerrero, the texts are signed with the name of their author, sometimes Guerrero himself, who signed under the pseudonym “E. Warman”.
      According to Tomás Cornejo, we could speculate that this authorial factor is related to a context in which “the increasing presence of the record labels in all countries of Latin America modified the landscape, and authorial attribution began to be mandatory around 1920” . In this sense, the prints produced by Guerrero are more embedded in other cultural fields which were being influenced by the mass culture industry.

      The users can access an important part of the musical (song) material of the Guerrero press on this website, be it in broadsheet format or as song chapbooks.
