| Sumario: | This paper deals with the book Peace by Revolution written by the Austrian political analyst Frank Tannenbaum and illustrated by the Mexican painter Miguel Covarrubias. Published originally in 1932, the book is one of many English-language works that aimed at offering a broad review of the background, details, and achievements of the 1910 armed struggle in Mexico. This article analyzes the book's lexical-visual relations, in order to explain how such an illustrated work constituted both a manifestation and an element of the imaginary through which English-speakers conceived Mexico after the 1910 revolution. The author examines the book's lexical-visual corpus as a representative example of the work of foreign and Mexican writers and artists, and, consequently, as a trans-cultural and extra-territorial effort resulting in the construction of the imaginary that represented this revolutionary Mexico in other countries.
