Footnotes

Scarce complete set of a journal satirising the government, church and other establishment bodies of Spain, commenting on important national and international political issues of the day, press freedom, Colonialism, and the foibles of man. Each issue includes a striking large format colour-printed caricature, many by the magazine's chief illustrator Tomás Padró. Due to press censorship the title of the journal occasionally changed its title (La Carcajada, La Madeja, El Lio), reviving after periods of closure.
