This is an extremely rare original photographic postcard from the Mexican Revolution, capturing a historic moment where revolutionary soldiers are being addressed by leader Francisco I. Madero. Marked with the inscription "ES PROP 1911 México, No. 52 H.J. Gutierez Foto", this piece is both a photographic record and a revolutionary artifact, measuring 8.89 cm x 13.97 cm (3.5" x 5.5"). The image vividly portrays Madero, the initiator of the revolution and future president, engaging with troops, likely during the pivotal early stages of the conflict in 1911.
 
Produced by photographer H.J. Gutierez, this postcard was originally intended for circulation among supporters, journalists, or as a commemorative item, blending propaganda with documentation. The scene underscores the passion and chaos of the revolution, offering a ground-level perspective on Madero’s leadership and the fervor of his followers. The postcard’s back may include space for correspondence, though its primary value lies in the historical imagery.
 
As an original period piece, it shows age-appropriate characteristics such as slight toning, minor edge wear, or handling marks, but the photograph remains clear and impactful, with no significant damage or fading. The inscription confirms its authenticity and era, distinguishing it from modern reproductions.
 
Ideal for collectors of Mexican history, revolutionary memorabilia, or early photojournalism, this postcard is a tangible link to the forces that reshaped modern Mexico. Its rarity and direct connection to Madero make it a centerpiece for any collection focused on political or military history.
