"Workers on Strike in Vizcaya" folder

Cardboard. 21 x 29.7 cm.

The limited possibilities of action that the working classes had throughout the 19th century expanded at the end of the century. Strikes became an instrument of defence and political struggle and, during the 1890s, they became more frequent in the more industrialised and mining areas, such as the outbreak of workers' strikes in Vizcaya and the celebration of May Day, where Vicente Cutanda y Toraya found the inspiration for a series of works of which this monumental canvas, Workers on Strike in Vizcaya (1892), forms part. The central detail of the composition is reproduced on the cover of this practical folder where you can file several documents in A4 format.
