El legado de grandes artistas mexicanos en diversos impresos de la primera mitad del siglo XX, ha quedado plasmado en esta obra alusiva a la exposición presentada en el Museo Valenciano de la Ilustración y la Modernidad (MuVIM), en Valencia, España, durante 2010. México ilustrado despliega una selección de las mejores ilustraciones que acompañan a libros, revistas y carteles publicados de 1920 a 1950. Por su propuesta estética, didáctica o de propaganda política, se muestran libros en defensa de la Revolución, cuentos para niños, ensayos de orientación socialista y literatura de ficción, en convivencia con una gran variedad de revistas que oscilan entre la vanguardia y la edificación de una nueva visión de México y los mexicanos. Destacan imágenes de Diego Rivera, Ramón Alva de la Canal, Jean Charlot, Miguel Covarrubias, el Dr. Atl, Carlos Mérida, Gabriel Fernández Ledesma y Leopoldo Méndez, entre otros.Editado en español e inglés, con más de trescientas ilustraciones, incluye textos de especialistas en el tema, como Juan Manuel Bonet, Mercurio López Casillas, Dafne Cruz y Marina Garone, quienes abordan la relación entre México y las vanguardias artísticas, la estética socialista, la literatura infantil, el diseño gráfico y la cartografía del México posrevolucionario.
