Excerpt: Tru-Vue, a subsidiary of Rock Island Bridge and Iron Works, was a manufacturer of stereoscopic filmstrips and corresponding stereoscope viewers, based in Rock Island, Illinois, from 1932â€“1951 and in Beaverton, Oregon, from 1951 until the late 1960s.[1] The film strips, or film cards, were fed through a slide viewer similar to a View-Master, which was art deco or streamlined in style. The viewers were made of bakelite and available in multiple colors. When held up to light the images appeared in 3D. The films were based on attractive scenery, children's stories, travel, night life, and current events. The company was purchased in 1951 by Sawyer'sâ€”the manufacturer of the View-Masterâ€”because Tru-Vue had an exclusive contract to make children's filmstrips based on Disney characters.[2] Tru-Vue moved at that time from Rock Island, Illinois, to Beaverton, Oregon,[3] near where Sawyer's had built a new plant, and for a few years was a subsidiary company of Sawyer's.[4] Eventually, it became only a brand name. Both View-Master and Tru-Vue products were manufactured into the 1960s by Sawyer's.

Vintage Mexican Red Diablo Carved Wood Mask. Made from light wood for wearing and dancing. Clowns in Mexico are often seen wearing devil masks. These characters are treated as comic figures. They show up during Carnival or to honor local patron saints. The missionaries had ordered their new converts to abandon the ancient gods, calling them demons. The people found that by putting horns on the masks of their gods they could get around this order. Today many of the contemporary masks worn by el diablo (the devil) retain some of the features of the ancient gods.

Excerpt: The presence of the devil in traditionally Mexican-made masks is far from traditional to Mexico, and actually came about as a result of Mexicoâ€™s conquest. The Spanish were able to completely change the economic structure of Mexico, slaughtering livestock and stealing land, but they werenâ€™t able to eradicate the native practices completely. When the indigenous dances they tried to eradicate continued, the Spanish changed course and decided instead to co-opt the traditions, applying Catholic figures to the masks that once portrayed native gods. The devil, who sometimes appears painted black and red as inspired by a night god called Tezcatlipoca, was one of them. The use of natural clay for these masks as well as diablitos, sculptures made popular in Michoacan by a sort of outlaw artist figure by the name of Marcelino Vicente, was a natural choice for an economically depleted country with plenty of clay available as a free and natural resource. Natural clays continue to be used, and molds are used instead of pottery wheels, just as they were 500 years ago. Despite the longstanding traditional methods used for making these sculptures, the story of the diablito figurines and tableaus, which can still be found today, depicting flesh-eating devils as well as symbols of current events, is a much more modern one.

When the indigenous dances they tried to eradicate continued, the Spanish changed course and decided instead to co-opt the traditions, applying Catholic figures to the masks that once portrayed native gods. The devil, who sometimes appears painted black and red as inspired by a night god called Tezcatlipoca, was one of them. The use of natural clay for these masks as well as diablitos, sculptures made popular in Michoacan by a sort of outlaw artist figure by the name of Marcelino Vicente, was a natural choice for an economically depleted country with plenty of clay available as a free and natural resource. Natural clays continue to be used, and molds are used instead of pottery wheels, just as they were 500 years ago. Despite the longstanding traditional methods used for making these sculptures, the story of the diablito figurines and tableaus, which can still be found today, depicting flesh-eating devils as well as symbols of current events, is a much more modern one.

Excerpt: The presence of the devil in traditionally Mexican-made masks is far from traditional to Mexico, and actually came about as a result of Mexicoâ€™s conquest. The Spanish were able to completely change the economic structure of Mexico, slaughtering livestock and stealing land, but they werenâ€™t able to eradicate the native practices completely.

Excerpt: Tlaxcala ("place of maize tortillas") was a pre-Columbian city and state in central Mexico. During the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, Tlaxcala allied with the Spaniards against the Aztecs, supplying a large contingent for and sometimes most of the Spanish-led army that eventually destroyed the Aztec Empire. As a result of their alliance with the Spaniards, Tlaxcala had hidalgo privileged status within Spanish colonial Mexico. After the Spanish conquered Tenochtitlan and the rest of Mexico, Tlaxcala was allowed to survive and preserve its pre-Columbian culture. In addition, as a reward to the Tlaxcalans unyielding loyalty to the Spanish, the city and its inhabitants largely escaped the pillaging and destruction following the Spanish conquest.
