The Movimiento Espartaco [Spartacus Movement] existed from 1959 to 1968 and was named in homage to the Spartacus League, a German labor movement of Marxist origin led by Rosa Luxemburg. It was founded by a young group of Argentinian artists who wanted to mix traditional methods with critical, avant-garde imagery. This appears to be the only set of prints that they published collectively. Despite the large edition size, there's very little on the internet about this portfolio, including just a few scant auction results or sales listings. It is not listed in OCLC.
