Reynafé brothers. [Manuscript] ca. 1835

Commentary:

As the search for Facundo’s assassins began, this manuscript describes the physical appearances of the three Reynafé brothers who were accused of masterminding the assassination. Listed at the top of the document, Guillermo is described as being of regular height, with white skin, brownish-red hair, blue eyes, a sharp nose, regular mouth, and a small beard.
