This is the most famous photo of Francisco Villa, and is part of ensallo (photo) and the film taken after the storming of Ojinaga. However I have always had the doubt if printed backwards either by words and numbers or the reins (reins of bridle) horse handled with the left hand and the whip (whip) right. Dr. Roberto Duarte (Note: photo above has been Flipped Horizontally – words and numbers are viewed correctly)

Esta es la foto más famosa de Francisco Villa, y es parte del ensallo (fotográfico) y del film tomado después de la Toma de Ojinaga. Sin embargo siempre he tenido la duda si está impresa al revés ya sea por las palabras y números o por que las riendas (reins of bridle)del caballo se manejan con la mano izquierda y el fuete (whip) con la derecha.

Pancho Villa was assassinated on July 20, 1923. Villa was in his Dodge Sedan with his bodyguards, driving home from Parral to Canutillo.
A street vendor was waving to him at the intersection Benito Juarez / Gabino Barveda. Pancho slowed his car to return the greeting and the vendor shouted “¡Viva Villa!”. The shout was a signal for a squad of gunmen concealed in a house by the roadside.
They opened fire, the car swerved off the road and crashed into a tree. Villa was killed instantly, riddled by seven, some say nine, bullets. Four of his bodyguards were killed with him.
Among the ones killed were: Trillo (the chauffeur), and Daniel Tamayo (Villa’s assistant). Three members of his escort were wounded: Rafael Medrano, Ramón Contreras, and Claro Hurtado.
