This is an original 1914 real photograph postcard from the height of the Mexican Revolution, featuring a striking and historically significant image titled "Gral Hernandez y su Estado Mayor" (General Hernández and His General Staff). The notation "Propiedad R.E." (likely indicating ownership or copyright by a publisher or photographer) adds to its provenance. Measuring 9cm x 14cm, this postcard was produced using the period "real photo" process, where light-sensitive emulsion was printed directly onto the card stock, ensuring exceptional detail and durability.
 
The image captures General Hernández and his staff in full uniform, posed with the authority and strategic gravity characteristic of revolutionary leadership. Such portraits were often used for propaganda, morale, or documentation, making this piece a valuable visual record of military hierarchy and attire during the conflict.
 
This postcard offers a rare, authentic glimpse into the personalities and structure of the revolution. Its survival in present condition makes it a prized primary source for historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of Mexican military history, revolutionary ephemera, or early 20th-century photography.
