*El novio de mil mujeres les da dinero y placeres (The Boyfriend of a Thousand Women Gives Them Money and Pleasure)* is a broadside, a single sheet of paper printed on both sides, created by Mexican artist Manuel Manilla in the 19th century. It features an illustration of a man surrounded by numerous women, depicting a scene from a popular ballad. This piece, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the social commentary and storytelling traditions of 19th-century Mexican popular culture. The artwork is a valuable example of Mexican printmaking and the use of broadsides as a form of entertainment and social commentary.
