The image displays vertically oriented Spanish text on a white page, likely a historical label or informational panel. The prominent heading reads "1918. Adquisición de la serie La Vida de un Día" (1918. Acquisition of the series The Life of a Day). The text describes the acquisition of Fernando Fader's art series "La Vida de un Día" by the city of Rosario, Argentina, in 1918. This purchase, made 106 years ago, initiated a collection of twenty Fader artworks now housed at the Museo Castagnino. Negotiations involved the Municipal Commission of Fine Arts and gallerist Federico Müller, following Fader's individual exhibition in Buenos Aires. An official act, signed by figures like Fermín Lejarza, Antonio Cafferata, Augusto Flondrois, Magín Anglada, and Emilio Ortiz Grognet, expressed the intent to acquire the series for a future fine arts museum in Rosario, set to open in 1920, emphasizing its educational character. After the proposal's acceptance, the Commission requested the works for evaluation. The purchase proceeded after an examination and "unánime ponderación" (unanimous praise) for their merits. At this time, Fernando Fader was already recognized as an emblematic figure in Argentine art, as noted in a contemporary interview.
