Juan Cumplido de la Garza

Juan Cumplido de la Garza was a prominent Mexican visual artist who settled in Costa Rica in the 1890s. He is best known for his satirical caricatures that critiqued societal issues, particularly the role of sensationalist media. His work during the seismic events in April 1910, especially his cartoon titled 'El Irazú y San José, según la prensa escandalosa', highlighted the irresponsible nature of the press in exacerbating public fear regarding natural disasters.
