This image looks like a black-and-white newspaper clipping. It shows a city street scene with old buildings, a bridge, and a canal. People and animals are scattered around, and there’s a mix of daily life—someone riding a bike, others walking or standing. The text is in Spanish, with headlines and articles about health and art. The caption mentions this is a "Grabado popular" (popular engraving) by Álvaro Barrios. The image is dated 1983 and looks like it’s meant to show a contrast between old and new. Check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
