The Archivo General de la Nacion is exhibiting high-quality reproductions of caricatures by Jose Mercader, portraying historical Dominican characters from the 19th century to the present day. The caricatures, which are displayed on the perimeter fence and in the Spanish Patio, feature politicians Juan Bosch, Joaquin Balaguer, Hipolito Mejia, businessmen Juan Hubieres and popular artists like Juan Luis Guerra, along with many others. The comical and satirical depictions are also available in a new book History of Dominican Caricatures (Historia de la caricatura dominicana) available for sale at the National Archives. The book also includes caricatures by artists Luis Garcia Ximpa, Ramon Oviedo, Harold Priego, Teddy Peguero, Joaquin de Alba (Kin), Antonio Bernard (Tom), Miche Medina, Roger Estevez and Priamo Morel. The exhibition will be open until the end of August at the National Archives, Calle Modesto Diaz, one block east of Abraham Lincoln Avenue in Santo Domingo.
