t-cep206CEP 206Mexican comic book La China Poblana, 1958. It is the story of Catarina de San Juan. Cover wear, one page repaired. M

Price: $90.00

Note: Catarina de San Juan known as the China Poblana was a slave that, according to legend, belonged to a noble family from China. She was brought to Mexico through the Spanish East Indies (Philippines), and has been credited since the Porfiriato with creating the China Poblana dress. After converting to Catholicism in Cochin —a city where she was kidnapped by Portuguese pirates—, Mirra was given the Christian name Catarina de San Juan, the name she was known as in Angelópolis where she worked as a slave, got married, and eventually became a beata - a religious woman who took personal religious vows without entering a convent. Upon her death, Catarina de San Juan was buried in the sacristy of the Templo de la Compañía de Jesús in Puebla, in what is popularly known as Tumba de la China Poblana or Tomb of the Chinese Pueblan. (Note that in Hispanic cultures at the time it was common to use the term chino to refer to all persons of Asian descent, regardless of actual ethnicity.)
