EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1914, capturing a lively scene in the courtyard of the Cafe of the Centro Autonomista de Dependientes de Comercio y la Industria de Barcelona. The image showcases a group of individuals engaged in various outdoor games, forming a circle that exudes an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy. The historical significance of this assembly lies in its representation of autonomy and independence within the shop assistants' community in Barcelona. The Autonomous Centre played a crucial role in advocating for workers' rights during that era, making this photograph an invaluable glimpse into their collective spirit. Restored with great care by Santiago Ortega, this horizontal composition transports us to early 20th century Spain. It offers a unique window into the past, revealing not only the fashion and architecture prevalent at that time but also shedding light on leisure activities enjoyed by locals. As we observe this mesmerizing snapshot from Catalonia's history, we are reminded of how public spaces like cafes served as hubs for intellectual discussions and social gatherings known as tertulias. This particular moment frozen in time captures both the vibrancy of Barcelona's commerce and industry as well as its rich cultural heritage.
