"El cancionero popular, hoja num. 4" (The Popular Songbook, Sheet No. 4) is a broadside, or single-sheet, publication from the late 19th century by Spanish artist Manuel Manilla. It is printed on a green background with black text and images, including a scene of a bullfight and a decorative border. The broadside features several traditional Spanish songs, including "Muerte del banderillero" (Death of the Bullfighter), "El Juramento" (The Oath), "Despedida" (Farewell), and "La Gaviota" (The Seagull). The broadsides were often used for public entertainment and provided a way for people to learn and share popular songs. This example, created by Manuel Manilla, is part of the collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.
