Luis Fernando Rojas Chaparro (b. Casablanca, Chile 1857-1942) despite his a massive and extensive production as an Illustrator, lithographer and caricaturist, that marked a period of splendor of the graphic arts in Chile, only fragmentary passages of his biography are known and important part of his work has remained anonymous till this day. Rojas started working for "El Correo de la Exposición" , working later for the "La Época", "El Nuevo Ferrocarril" and collaborating with Juan Rafael Allende in the satiric newspapers "El General Pililo", "El Padre Padilla","El Padre Cobos" and "El Fígaro". His work also was published in journals like "El taller ilustrado", "La lira chilena", "La lira ilustrada", "El Peneca" and "La revista cómica". In the magazines "Sucesos" and "Zig-Zag" he signed his work with the pseudonymous "Marius". This publication constitutes a tribute, rather late, for the artist who masterfully combine the virtues of drawing, anecdotal description and historical background, possibly the most important graphic chronicler of the 19th-century in Chile and that in his satiric and artistic way documented the political and social events from the horrors of the War of the Pacific to the celebrations of the Centennial anniversary of the Republic.
