This Republican poster's slogan, "Sí, venceremos, pero con orden en la retaguardia" ("Yes, we will win, but with order in the rear guard"), states its purpose: victory at the front depended on discipline behind the lines. Its issuer, the Departamento de Orden Público in Aragón, points to 1937, when the Republic was fighting for survival and its territory was split between competing political and union forces. The lithograph's focus on hands, a subject the Library of Congress catalog names directly, suggests labor, cooperation, and the shared effort the government wanted from civilians. Posters like this one were pasted in towns and workplaces across the Republican zone.
