Historical context
In 1910, Mexico celebrated the Centennial of Independence with great pomp, one hundred years since the Grito de Dolores raised by Miguel Hidalgo in 1810. His figure, as the initiator of the struggle for freedom, was the center of those commemorations.
This small bronze medal of 1910 honors him in the setting of those Centennial festivities that Porfirio Díaz organized to show the world a modern Mexico proud of its history. The celebrations included parades, inaugurations, and all manner of commemorative pieces.
The piece belongs to the figures (personajes) category. It's a testimony to the cult of Hidalgo at the peak of the Porfiriato, just weeks before the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution that, that same year, would begin the end of the Díaz era.
