In the autumn of 1914 in Barcelona, Catalonia due to the First World War there's not much work for Catalan printing works.

In a time without unemployment pay that meant misery for their workers and their families. So, some artists decided to draw some cinderellas, print them at a very good printer (Oliva de Vilanova, Barcelona) and collect some money to help.

Hence the text "Socors, per a la vaga forçosa" (help for the unvoluntary strike).

The cinderellas have a face value of 5 cents.


The one of interest is the print machine on the second line of stamps
