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 this practical document sleeve, which will allow you to store several A4 sheets of paper in its two pockets.
