Broadside, recto, shows skeletons in pandemonium because of cataclysmic natural events around them. There are also three small skeletons heading the text. The text, a calavera in verse (epitaph), predicts an apocalypse as the year 1899 ends. The verso shows grieving skeletons at a graveyard attending a funeral, one is flung over a grave crying. There are also six small skeletons and skulls in between the text which is titled "A remembrance, my friends, from one who today is a calavera, lets begin to talk about Arnulfo Arroyo, who is truly dead." The text, also a calavera in verse, conveys how Arroyo through a plot was killed by his friend Velásquez and how he is waiting for everyone on the other side--in the afterlife.
