Broadside printed in two parallel columns.

Both Llamozas and Tovar Ponte were leading figures of the early Independence movement in Venezuela. This broadside explains the coup of April 19th in which the viceroy was deposed and a caretaker government was installed. Although stating their loyalties to the Spanish crown, Llamozas and Tovar Ponte repeatedly use the terms "independent" and "independence". This document is universally dated as having come off the press on 20 April 1810.
