This drawing is packed with angry, exaggerated faces. On the left, a butcher, baker, and shopkeeper glare at you with wild eyes. On the right, a big guy labeled "ALMACENISTA" holds a club. The bottom shows a crowd burning something, with text in Spanish calling out greedy people. The words attack dishonest sellers and corrupt bosses. The artist used sharp lines to make everything look harsh and urgent. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
