QUESADA-RIVERA, Eugenio. Producing a Provincial Magazine. The Case of El Heraldo Seráfico, Cartago, Costa Rica (1910-1940). LiminaR [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.183-195. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v17i2.678.

This paper aims to analyze the technical and social dynamics of publishing the magazine El Heraldo Seráfico, which, after August 1915, was totally undertaken in a Capuchin workshop. Following the model proposed by historian Robert Darnton, this paper seeks to answer the following research questions: What motivated the foundation of this typographic workshop? What kind of technology existed therein? What were its main expenditures? What was the editorial hierarchy at the workshop? We conclude that the Capuchins reproduced in Costa Rica an editorial strategy previously and successfully developed in Catalonia.
