- A print of a poster with black lettering and a green background. The title is bolded, "Calavera Comercial." Below this is a bunch of skeletons wearing various types of clothing, such as dresses, skirts, pants, vests, hats, sometimes nothing at all. Some of them are carrying baskets. They all surround a skeleton vendor who is selling candles hanging from his stall. The table of the stall has skulls scattered on it. Below this image is a bunch of text in Spanish. All of this is within a border, decorated in the same pattern all around with the difference being four circular patterns in the four corners of the border.
