madero

Brother of President Francisco Madero of Mexico. According to books.google.com/books?id=XAIcq6AJ3OwC&pg=RA1-PA674 (in a biography of Pancho Villa)

NYT article of June 25, 1913, second article in query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9904E6DE153FE633A... Indicates that on June 24, 1913, a Salvador Madero and his brother, Ernesto, formed an import/export company in New York under the name Madero Brothers. However, NYT of Feb 9, 1918 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F04EEDE1F38E533A... indicates that the Madero Brothers were uncles of the former Mexican President. and NYT of April 21, 1918, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D05E7DC1F3FE433A... indicates that Ernesto of Madero Brothers is a nephew of the former president of Mexico. So there is definitely some potential for confusion here!!

#5 is Francisco Ignacio Madero, President of Mexico 1911-1913. The caption says "F. I. Madero" and the photo is a match for the one in the Wikipedia article.

#3 in the photograph is Venustiano Carranza. I haven't heard of the Carrenas name in Mexico, unless it could be Carreñas. Yet, when I saw who the person was, no doubt, his beard and eyeglasses says it all... he is Venustiano Carranza. When president Madero (#5 in the photograph) and Pino Suarez are assasinated by Huerta (not in the picture), Venustiano Carranza declares war against Huerta on the inconstitutionality of the coup d'etat. His army was known as the Carrancistas or the Ejercito Constitucionalista (Constitutionalist Army). He also became president but was also assasinated.

tolteca_pilo: Thank you for the additional information! We will edit the source data to reflect that #3 appears to be Venustiano Carranza and then reload the description to Flickr.

After writing my first comment I learned a new fact. According to Taibo, biographer of Pancho Villa, this is one of two similar photographs. Both are the same, only difference is that Pancho Villa appears in one. No one knows why he dissappeared for the second photo.

muy interesante la colección de fotos sobre el moviento de la Revolución Mexicana...! He posteado algunos tags como referencia, exito!

from Wikipedia: Francisco Ignacio Madero González (October 30, 1873 – February 22, 1913) was a politician, writer and revolutionary who served as President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913. As a respectable upper-class politician, he supplied a center around which opposition to the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz could coalesce. However, once Díaz was deposed, he proved to be ineffective and the Mexican Revolution quickly spun out of Madero's control. He was deposed and executed by the Porfirista military and his aides, which he neglected to replace with revolutionary supporters. His assassination was followed by the most violent period of the revolution in Mexico (1913–1917) until the Constitution of 1917 and revolutionary president Venustiano Carranza achieved some degree of stability. Followers of Madero were known as Maderistas.

Shadrach Christopoulos: Thanks for the detailed information on Francisco Madero. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

There´s the same picture with more definition you can see Madero´s rigtht hand vandaged and hanging over the chest. That means that this picture must been taken after Casas Grandes balttle (or just later) which took place on March 6, 1911. After Casas Grandes fail, Madero retreated to Bustillos Hacienda. Maybe this picture was taken nearby. Dr. Roberto Duarte

You can see a picture of Francisco I. Madero (wearing the same clothes, his right hand hanging on a sling) standing among Pascual Orozco, Guiseppe Garibaldi and Raul Madero, printed on New York Tribune, issue February 24, 1913 [he was slain on February 22] (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America), but surely copied from a photo of C. C. Harris collection, which now is posted in The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles. Both pictures were most likely taken at Bustillos Hacienda (or nearby) where Madero retreated after his failure in taking Casas Grandes on March 6, 1911, when and where he was wounded in his right arm.
