Abstract
This text focuses on the transformations that printed works in New Spain underwent during the last decades of the viceroyalty, as well as the first fifteen years of the independent Mexico. These changes were evident in the format size, number of pages, topics and genres, as shown by this case study. However, unlike the New Spanish capital, there was only one print shop working in Guadalajara, engraving did not evolve from xylography to copper, local authors were few and the production was devoted to reprinting works.
