gustín Victor Casasola was a newspaper reporter for El Imparcial, the semi-official organ of the Porfirio Díaz government. He became a photographer in 1900 in order to accompany his stories with pictures. He documented the early unrest of the pre-revolutionary years and the major events and personalities throughout three decades of war. The revolution was directed against the dictatorship of
Porfirio Díaz, the landed aristocracy and foreign investors.
