EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in the tumultuous Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in Irun. The image shows militia members standing guard at the Loyola bridge, their faces etched with determination and vigilance. The men, dressed in military attire, exude a sense of duty and readiness as they protect their post. The scene is bathed in natural sunlight, highlighting the stark contrast between light and shadow. The outdoor setting adds to the raw intensity of the moment, emphasizing the gravity of war and conflict. The location of Irun adds another layer of significance to this photograph. Situated near the border with France, Irun was a strategic point during the civil war, making it a hotbed for military activity and resistance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who fought in this brutal conflict. Their unwavering commitment to their cause is palpable in every detail captured by the photographer's lens. This print serves as a poignant reminder of a dark chapter in Spain's past, while also honoring the resilience and courage of those who stood on the front lines during this turbulent time.
