Letter from Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada to Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta, 1875. Historical Archive Fund of Real Caja de Zacatecas 1576-1936. Collection of the Society of Friends of Zacatecas, A.C. on loan to Tecnologico de Monterrey©. Memory of the World Registry of Mexico, UNESCO, 2021. Cultural Heritage of Tecnológico de Monterrey©.

In this letter, two personalities from the last quarter of the 19th century stand out, Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada and Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta. The first, for assuming the presidency of Mexico after the death of Benito Juarez and the second, for being secretary and later director of the Mexican Academy of Language.

The beauty of this document lies in the initials or acronym of the letterhead with Art Nouveau style floral details in blue, in which Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada responds to Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta, as well as the rubric of the president of Mexico.
