Serapio Cruz (1835-1870): A Prominent Figure in Guatemalan Politics and Military during the 19th Century This engraving depicts Serapio Cruz (1835-1870), a significant caudillo, or military and political leader, in the history of Guatemala during the late 19th century. Cruz was a land and property owner, as well as a respected marshal in the military, making him a formidable figure in both the political and social spheres. The image captures Cruz's distinguished face, adorned with a prominent goatee, and his uniform, which signifies his military rank. The medals on his chest attest to his numerous accomplishments and contributions to the country. Cruz, also known as "Tata Lapo" or "Tatalapo," was a beloved figure among the people, and his influence extended beyond the military realm. During a time when Guatemala was undergoing significant political changes, Cruz played a crucial role in shaping the country's future. His leadership and military prowess were essential in maintaining order and stability during a period of turmoil. This engraving serves as a testament to Cruz's enduring legacy and his impact on Guatemalan history. The illustration is taken from "La Ilustracion Española y Americana," a renowned Spanish and American publication, and was published in 1870. The colored engraving adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a striking and valuable historical artifact.
