The Souvenir of the Tottenham Outrage serves as a chilling reminder of anarchist conspirators lurking in London's shadows. Arrests at Club Autonomie shed light on their clandestine gatherings, while French cartoons and anarchist newspapers reveal their propaganda machinery. Across borders, riots engulfed Paris in a fiery display of dissent, depicted vividly in color lithographs. The "Battle of Stepney" froze time with its black-and-white photo, showcasing anarchy's impact on society. Troubles erupted even further in Barcelona - a city synonymous with rebellion - portrayed through striking lithographs capturing chaos on its streets.

Meanwhile, execution by firing squad became the fate for six anarchists in Barcelona; their colorful lithograph immortalizing their final moments. Anarchists knew no bounds when it came to targeting authority figures like Cardinal Archbishop Casanas leaving Barcelona Cathedral – an attack etched forever into history through vibrant hues.
