Ernesto Garcia Cabral  also known as "Chango',  was born in Huatusco, Veracruz  Mexico in 1890.  Cabral was 17 when he first won an scholarship to the San Carlos Art Academy. By 1910 he was drawing for popular publications and two years later received a grant to study art in Paris. 

Cabral returned to Mexico in 1918 where he established himself as a top caricaturist. His work often appeared on the covers of magazines such as the weekly "Revista de Revistas". 

As with many artists, his commercial work was rarely signed on any advertising posters. Cabral also painted murals, one of which can be found in Toluca, Mexico.  Cabral died in 1968.
