Title
Republican Spain Calls Now

Date
1936

Description
Handpainted poster, from the Spanish Civil War, around 1936

This poster was hand-drawn and painted on brown paper. It shows a scroll reading "Republican Spain calls now in all its heroism, grandeur agony and self-sacrifice, to each and all of us in Britain, to make such efforts that, alongside those which its people are making against such terrible military odds, the victory over Fascism can be won."

The poster is similar in style and materials to other hand-drawn posters relating to the Spanish Civil War, suggesting that they were created by the same person or group, lobbying for support for the Republican cause.
