Abstract
Based on analysis of documents and auction catalogues, this paper shows an overview of the Mexican bibliographic exodus from 1868 to 1896, focused on the sale of Doctor Nicolás León's books to the Brown family. The John Carter Brown Library is one of the most important collections of books from and about the Americas. It is currently the first repository to keep the largest collection of Mexican prints of the 16th century. However, so far there is no story about how this collection was acquired.Authors who publish in Bibliographica automatically accept the following terms:

Authors will keep their authorship rights and will guarantee the journal the first time publication rights of their submitted work, which will be liable to a Creative Commons license that will allow third parties to share their work as long as they give appropriate credit to the author and the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica, it is not used for commercial purposes and modified material is not distributed in case of remix, transformation or recreation.
b. Authors can adopt other non-exclusive distribution license agreements of the published version of the work (for example: deposit it in an institutional telematic archive or publish it in a monographic volume) as long as the first publication is attributed to Bibliographica.
