"El cancionero popular, hoja num. 19" (The Popular Songbook, Sheet No. 19) is a broadside by Manuel Manilla, a Spanish printmaker working in the 19th century. This broadside, printed on yellow paper, features four Spanish folk songs, illustrated with simple woodcuts. The piece, held by The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the visual culture of popular song in 19th-century Spain. The sheet includes lyrics for songs like "La Morenita," "Versos del Cometa," and "La vida de un soldado." This broadside exemplifies the use of printmaking to disseminate popular culture during the 19th century.
