Very rare printed broadside, in Spanish, one page, both sides, 8.5 x 12.5, signed “Adrian Woll,” dated May 25, 1853. Broadside is a decree on behalf of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, addressed "To the Inhabitants of this Country [Tamaulipas, a state in the northeast of Mexico]… ," followed by a series of articles regarding the treatment of criminals. In part: "The highway robbers that were apprehended red-handed and those that were not caught red-handed but caused death and heavy harm in the assault, will be judged very summarily… as penalty, it will be capital punishment to be dispensed and carried out in accordance with article 6… In no case recourse to mercy will be admitted for the highway robbers, whether caught red-handed or not…" With specific instructions for the carrying out of judgments by local officers. In very good condition, with chipping and paper loss to edges, a few folds and creases, a couple trivial spots of ink erosion to signature, and pencil notation to top edge of front.
After Mexico's independence from Spain, Tamaulipas continued to be an unstable region. The fight in national government between federalist and centralist factions resulted in repeated rebellions. In January 1854 Tamaulipas was declared a state of the Mexican union during the civil war between Santa Anna and the liberal guerrilla factions that had been in power before him. An important document attempting to quell the instability and restore order in the region after Mexico’s independence.
