My interest in the posters of the Spanish Civil War

I'm proud of these Republican posters designed during the Spanish Civil War






Nationalists (Franco)

Republicans (The Good Guys!)

The army of the people

They shall not pass!

Social justice

The people were men, women, children, and international volunteers.

The enemies were the Fascists: Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco

And with the "Generalisimo Franco" were those who pulled his coat's tails
Cold, wounds, and hunger...
Pax Romana!
Pax Romana!
Frederico Garcia Lorca (killed by death squad not far from my own people in Rincon de la Victoria - the death list remained real up until Franco's death... and even afterwards... if you were in it and needed a new passport!)
