Antonio Bosch's "Broadside with 48 scenes depicting the story of Little Robinson" (1855-1875) is a woodcut print that tells the story of Robinson Crusoe in a series of 48 individual scenes. The broadside is arranged in six rows of eight scenes, each scene with a brief description beneath it in Spanish. The print was likely created for a popular audience and reflects the growing popularity of this classic tale during this period. The detailed scenes with their accompanying descriptions provide a unique insight into the storytelling and visual culture of 19th-century Spain.
