This lithograph depicts the 'Revolution of Three Hours,' an overthrow of Santa Anna's regime in Mexico City. At the top center, the scene depicts an angel smiting a figure, likely Santa Anna, off his throne of skulls. In the foreground, a figure with broken chains on her feet is being held back from falling into a hole. The hole before her contains small, winged monsters. The lithograph includes commentary below the image, describing Santa Anna's tyranny and a series of events leading to the people's revolt on the "memorable day of the sixth." —— Esta litografía representa la 'Revolución de las tres horas', un derrocamiento del régimen de Santa Anna en la Ciudad de México.
