Celebrating the Centennial of the May Revolution: A Tribute to Mariano Moreno, the Visionary Leader of Argentina's First National Government This postcard, issued to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the May Revolution in Argentina, features an inset portrait of Mariano Moreno (1778-1811), an Argentine lawyer, journalist, and politician who played a decisive role in the Primera Junta, the first national government of Argentina, created after the May Revolution. The archetypal image of Moreno, dressed in the attire of a 19th-century statesman, gazes intently, his hand resting on a stack of papers, symbolizing his commitment to the cause of Argentine independence. The background is adorned with the Argentine flag, a testament to the nation's rich history and the ideals of liberty and sovereignty that Moreno and his colleagues fought for. Moreno's contributions to the Argentine struggle for independence were significant. As a lawyer, he defended the cause of the revolutionaries in the courts. As a journalist, he wrote and published articles in support of the revolution, using the power of the press to mobilize public opinion. And as a politician, he served as the Secretary of the Exterior Relations of the Primera Junta, negotiating diplomatic relations with other South American countries and European powers. The May Revolution, which began on May 25, 1810, marked the end of Spanish rule in Argentina and the beginning of a new era of Argentine self-determination. This postcard, issued to mark the centennial of this momentous event, serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of the revolutionary generation, and of the enduring spirit of Argentine patriotism. Mariano Moreno, with his unwavering commitment to the cause of Argentine independence, remains an enduring symbol of the Argentine people's resilience and determination. This commemorative postcard is a fitting tribute to his memory and legacy.
