An educational infographic with a vintage paper background, titled "When California Was Mexico: Who Owned The Land? (1821–1848)". The graphic uses four numbered steps, illustrations, maps, and icons to explain the land ownership system in Alta California. The infographic border is adorned with an ornate script reading, "Ludi Shadowspeaker Real Estate Extraordinaire", which is also watermarked across the entire image. Header: The title is in large, bold, stylized font, with the date range below it in parentheses. Step 1: The Transition (1821–1833): Features a timeline with the Mexican flag and a mission building icon. Text: "1821 Mexican Independence," an arrow, and "1833 Secularization Act." A description states: "Mexico gains independence from Spain. Secularization Act dismantles Mission system." Step 2: The Rancho System: Includes a hand-drawn map of California (labeled 'Diseño' and 'Land Grants') with a cow icon, arrows pointing to large land plots, and the text "50,000+ Acres." A separate illustration shows a landscape with an oak tree and a pile of stones, acting as a surveyor boundary. A description reads: "Mexican government grants massive land tracts to influential soldiers & settlers." Step 3: The Landholders: Californios: Shows an illustration of two vaqueros (rancheros) on horseback herding cattle, a leather saddle, and branding tools. A description reads: "A small number of wealthy, well-connected families ('RANCHEROS') controlled huge estates. Known for an economy based on cattle hides & tallow." Step 4: Impact on Indigenous People: Features an illustration of an Indigenous person using a tool in a field near a boundary post. A description reads: "Intended mission lands for Indigenous neophytes. In reality, very few grants reached them, leading to widespread displacement." The bottom border of the infographic contains five hashtags: #CaliforniaHistory, #AltaCalifornia, #MexicanRanchoSystem, #History, and #Infographic.

A cable car now runs between the mountains of La Bufa and Cerro del Grillo in Zacatecas. In 1844 William had to walk up (and down) which could be a hazardous journey. #historypodcast #mexicanhistory #travelhistory #ukhistory #victorianhistory
This is the type of Sword William would have had with him on horseback, along with a pair of pistols. They were known as Espada Ancha. #mexicanhistory #historypodcast
Great Great Grandad William is still bedbound, nursing his wounds after falling down a pit at the mint, but looking from his balcony window he can see much of the city of Zacatecas. #historypodcast #VictorianHistory #travelhistory #mexicanhistory

Sharing an old illustration I made for a short story about Gonzalo Guerrero. I really enjoyed leaning into the bright, tropical palette and clean shapes for this coastal scene.

This blueprint reveals the world inside Chapultepec Castle — terraces, gardens, and grand halls where emperors and presidents once walked. A palace suspended above Mexico City, filled with stories in every room. 🇲🇽🏰 #Chapultepec #MexicanHistory
Chapultepec Castle has lived many lives — a fortress in the 1847 battle, then a royal palace for Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota. From war to empire, this hill has seen Mexico’s history unfold with a front-row view of the capital. 🇲🇽🏰 #Chapultepec #MexicanHistory
Chapultepec Castle looks peaceful today, but in 1847 it was the site of one of the fiercest moments of the Mexican-American War. This engraving shows U.S. troops storming the fortress on Sept. 13, 1847. 🇲🇽🏰 #Chapultepec #MexicanHistory
