E. Cooper.
[n.d., c.1850.]
Steel engraving. Sheet 170 x 110mm (6¾ x 4¼"). Trimmed bit dusty.
José Mariano Michelena (1772-1852), a Spanish soldier who campaigned for New Spain's independence from Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. After being sent to Spain, he fought in the Peninsula Wars (including the capture of Bayonne in 1814), before returning to Mexico when it became independent in 1822. After the abdication of Emperor Agustín de Iturbide in 1823, he was acting president until elections could be held, handing over power peacefully. Afterwards he was minister plenipotentiary to Great Britain, and travelled around Europe and the near East. In Arabia he bought coffee plants and successfully grew them back in Mexico, thus introducing them to the country.
