EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history from the turbulent Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The image features legal tender notes issued by the City Council of Borges Blanques, located in Lleida, Catalonia, and Hijar in Teruel. These notes were circulated during 1936, a crucial year that witnessed intense conflict and political upheaval. The photograph captures the essence of this era with its vibrant colors and distinct design. The notes themselves represent more than just currency; they symbolize the resilience and determination of these communities amidst chaos. As private collection items belonging to Santiago Ortega, their historical significance is immeasurable. Intriguingly horizontal in format, this print invites us to delve into Spain's past and explore its rich heritage. It transports us back to a time when cities like Borges Blanques and Hijar played pivotal roles in shaping the outcome of this brutal war. Through this image, we are reminded of how money can serve as a tangible link between our present reality and events long gone by. It serves as a testament to human endurance during times of strife while also offering glimpses into forgotten stories waiting to be uncovered. As we gaze upon these tickets-turned-treasures from an unknown artist's perspective, let us reflect on the power that lies within objects like these – ordinary artifacts transformed into extraordinary witnesses to history's most tumultuous moments.
