Its slogan, "Anarchist books are weapons against fascism," treats reading and publishing as part of the war effort, a notable departure from the rifles-and-flags imagery common in Spanish Civil War posters. Printed in Barcelona between 1936 and 1939 by the Sociedad General de Publicaciones, it is catalogued in the Carteles de la República series and attributed to the artist Ambros. Catalonia was a stronghold of anarchist unions and militias during those years, and the poster ties the Republican cause to the books and ideas its supporters hoped would shape the people fighting for it.
