Iriarte, Hesiquio (sold)
Hesiquio Iriarte (1824 - August 30, 1903) was a Mexican artist, lithographer, and publisher active in the second half of the 19th century. Iriarte was born in Mexico City, the son of Mariano Iriate and Asuncion Zúñgia. Iriarte began working in the lithographic studios of M. Murgurïa y Cie. in around or slightly before 1847. He founded his own firm, Litografía de Iriarte y Compañía, in 1854. He was a prosperous lithographer with a large corpus. His most famous work, 'El Pulquero' was produced early in his career under Murgurïa. In cartographic circles, he worked extensively with Antonio Garcia y Cubas (1832 - 1912), lithographing maps for the great Atlas Geográfico, Estadístico e Histórico de la República Mexicana. His workshop was at Calle de St. Clara no. 23, Mexico.

This is a rare 1858 Antonio Garcia y Cubas map of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Centered on Oaxaca City (Oajaca), coverages extends from the Guerrero border to Tehuantepec, then in a separate state, and from Veracruz to the Pacific. The map is divided into various subdistricts with considerable efforts to illustrate the region's mountainous interior - a considerable achievement for the time. Even the Pre-Columbian ruins at Mitla are noted. Only major roads are defined, underscoring just how remote and difficult to access many of these villages were - nonetheless most of the locations are noted with considerable accuracy. The map itself is surrounded by statistical tables. (more details)
