"Workers on Strike in Vizcaya" pencil case

19 x 5.5 cm. Wood. Includes 12 colored pencils.

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. It is reproduced in detail in this beautiful wooden case with coloured pencils, perfect for carrying in your bag or backpack or decorating your desk.
