It features a curated selection of over 130 drawings by 40 artists who collaborated with publications like 'Blanco y Negro' and 'ABC' between 1891 and the 1990s.

This project aims to illuminate the careers and lives of these selected artists, bringing their valuable work to public attention and encouraging further research into their impact on illustration.
