EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a propaganda poster from the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War, urging country people to grow wheat to make bread for their soldiers. The message "Camperols: Perque no manqui pa als nostres soldats, sembreu!" (Country people: grow wheat to make bread for our soldiers!) is bold and poignant, reflecting the desperate need for support during this tumultuous time in history.
The poster was created by the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia and features a simple yet striking drawing by author Ba. The image calls upon civilians to contribute to the war effort by providing essential sustenance for those fighting on their behalf.
Located in Salamanca, Spain, this piece is now housed in the Archivo Historico Nacional as a reminder of the sacrifices made during one of Spain's darkest chapters. The stark black and white contrast adds depth and emotion to the scene, emphasizing the urgency and importance of supporting their troops.
As we reflect on this historical moment through this photo print, we are reminded of the resilience and unity displayed by those who fought bravely for their beliefs. It serves as a timeless testament to the power of solidarity and sacrifice in times of conflict.
