Two Franciscan friars press into a crowded indigenous market — one clutching trade goods with grasping, almost predatory hands while a warrior in a vivid blue shield turns away — in a damning panel from Diego Rivera's monumental 1929–1930 fresco cycle at the Palacio de Cortés in Cuernavaca, one of the most politically charged murals in Mexican history. Rivera, commissioned by U.S. Ambassador Dwight Morrow in a remarkable act of patronage, used the walls of Hernán Cortés's own palace to indict the Spanish conquest and its ecclesiastical enforcers, titling this panel "Los Curas de Lado de los Explotadores" — Priests with the Exploiters. The postcard, published by the Fischgrund Publishing Co. of Mexico City and printed in Mexico, reproduces the scene with enough fidelity to capture the beeswax-candle warmth of Rivera's encaustic palette and the coiled tension in the monks' figures.
