About Ernesto García Cabral

Nationality
Mexican
Also known as
El Chango
Ernesto García Cabral (1890–1968), widely known as “El Chango,” was a Mexican caricaturist, cartoonist, illustrator, muralist, and painter. Library authority records consistently identify his lifespan, while Wikidata and multilingual biographical entries connect the name to the same visual artist. He is especially associated with caricatures published in Revista de Revistas. Biographical summaries also describe illustration for literacy books, mural work, and painting, indicating a practice broader than editorial cartoons alone. Published summaries estimate his output at nearly 25,000 documents, although that figure is not independently confirmed by the authority files in this source pack. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on drawings, editorial illustrations, printed material, and paintings rather than on one standardized type of object. Because one aggregated authority display mislabels his occupation as a singer, attribution should be matched through dates, medium, inscriptions, publication context, and provenance rather than through the name alone.

Common works and media
Works associated with García Cabral include caricature and cartoon drawings, editorial illustrations, book illustrations, paintings, and murals. Auction or appraisal submissions are most plausibly encountered as drawings, printed material, or paintings. The source pack does not establish standard print editions, recurring subjects, or a documented catalogue raisonné, so edition status, publication context, signatures, inscriptions, and provenance should be verified object by object.
Market and appraisal context
Valuation should begin with a work-specific comparison: medium, dimensions, date, condition, restoration, signature or inscriptions, provenance, publication or exhibition history, and attribution confidence. Edition details matter when the object is a print or other multiple, while subject and rarity may affect the relevance of comparables. The current Appraisily market summary reports no matched priced records, so this source pack does not support a median, price trend, or liquidity conclusion. Caricatures, drawings, printed illustrations, and paintings should be compared within their own categories. Recent public auction results may be useful when available, but private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes can limit comparability.
