Drawings by Luis Bagaría, mostly for the Spanish journal Le Sol in the 1920s

Luis Bagaría (Barcelona, 1882 – Havana, 1940) was one of most important Spanish caricaturists in the first half of the 20th century. His drawings, in a synthetic and decorative style, were published in the most important journals of Spain from 1906 to 1940.

Though born in Barcelona, it was in Madrid where he achieved great popularity and fame. He published in the journal El Sol, and drew the covers of España magazine. His caricatures against fascism during the war provoked his exile to Paris and into Cuba. [via wikipedia]

I stumbled upon almost 500 of Bagaría's drawings at the Colecciones Artísticas Fundación Mapfre, where you can see them at huge sizes. There's also a Spanish-language blog dedicated to Bagaría.
