**Title:
- The Spanish title, "Diversiones burguesas," appears in the artist's hand in pencil on at least one impression, l.l. (See Fig. 1 below.)
- The only known impressions bearing titles in the artist's hand for Madrid Series prints are in the Hemingway Collection and carry their titles l.l. where the numbering normally appears.
- The English version of the title above, “Bourgeois Diversions,” is our translation and doesn't appear on any observed impression.
- The 2005 Universidad de Cantabria exhibition catalogue "Luis Quintanilla" and FBA use the title "Reunion de Sociedad (Hilarity)." The Spanish translates as "Social Gathering."
- The English title "Hilarity" appears on the bottom of the sheet of one impression, probably used for a later sale in New York, the AAA exhibition of 1939.

(See Biographical Chronology.)
