EDITORS COMMENTS
Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada (1823-1889): A Prominent Jurist and Liberal President of Mexico This engraving, published in La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana in 1872, showcases the portrait of Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada, a significant figure in Mexican history. Born on October 14, 1823, Lerdo de Tejada was a renowned jurist and politician who served as the 27th President of Mexico from 1872 to 1876. The image, produced in Paris, captures the essence of Lerdo de Tejada's distinguished persona. He is depicted wearing the formal attire of the time, complete with a cravat and a serious expression. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and richness to the print, enhancing the overall impact of the portrait. Lerdo de Tejada's political career began in the Liberal Party, which advocated for constitutional reforms and separation of church and state. He served various roles in the Mexican government, including Minister of Justice and Minister of Foreign Affairs, before being elected as the President of Mexico in 1872. During his presidency, Lerdo de Tejada focused on modernizing the country's infrastructure, implementing reforms in education, and strengthening diplomatic relations with European powers. Despite his accomplishments, Lerdo de Tejada's presidency was marked by political instability and economic challenges. In 1876, he was overthrown in a coup d'état led by Porfirio Diaz. Lerdo de Tejada spent the remainder of his life in exile, passing away on February 2, 1889. This engraving serves as a testament to Lerdo de Tejada's legacy as a prominent jurist and Liberal president of Mexico. It offers a glimpse into the political landscape of the 19th century and the complexities of Mexican history.
