El Ultimo Brindis de Don Porfirio: 1910: Los Festejos del Centenario = The Last Toast of Don Porfirio Diaz

In a work illustrated with never before published photographs, Rafael Tovar y de Teresa takes us on a tour of Mexico in the year 1910 that reveals everyday life and the social and political climate of the time. That year, the centenary celebrations showed the world that after thirty years in power, Porfirio Daz had turned Mexico into a respected, stable and booming nation influenced by the modernizing tendencies of the twentieth century. From their seat of power, no one foresaw the violent revolution that would soon erupt, exposing two sides of a country: the face of thriving progress and the face of a deep social disparity.
