                <text>Pictures of troupe members and records from La Companía Dramática Hernández-Villalongín, also known as La Companía Cómico Dramática Carlos Villalongín (Carlos Villalongín Dramatic Company). &#13;
La Compañía Hernández-Villalongín was a traveling theatre troupe around the turn of 20th century. It was founded in 1848 by Encarnación Hernández. The company toured North Mexico and Texas over a period of 70 years (1848-1924). The company underwent multiple name changes when leadership changed, but Carlos Villalongín was a leading actor in the troupe for many years and the final company head.  The company was comprised primarily of two families-the Hernández and Villalongín families, but employed additional outside actors as well.  </text>

              <text>A photo postcard. The front is a picture of Luis Hernandez and Carolina Villalongin de Hernandez. Luis Hernandez is the son of Encarnacion Hernandez and Antonia Pineda de Hernandez, the first two leaders of the Compania from 1848 to 1904. Carolina is the sister of Carlos Villalongin who took over the troupe after Antonia's retirement. Both Luis and Carolina were actors in the troupe during their tenure. &#13;
&#13;
The back has a postcard format which was left blank. A small note was written over the bottom by the postcard's recipient. Later archivists wrote identifiers on the postcard and over the note. &#13;
