Historical and Philatelic Context: During the early decades of the 20th century, and expanding significantly during periods of heightened political mobilization, various cultural and regionalist organizations in Catalonia turned to the production of non-postal labels. These items were designed for political propaganda, linguistic promotion, and fundraising. Publishing a series in a continuous strip featuring prominent historical figures, intellectuals, or medieval leaders served to reinforce national identity and collective memory among the population. Preserved as an intact complete strip, this violet issue is highly sought after by specialized collectors of Catalan regionalism, political history, and cinderellas.
