The slogan, which translates as "It is necessary to make all kinds of sacrifices to win the war," puts the emphasis on the home front rather than the battlefield. Printed in Barcelona in 1937, it reflects the Republican side's struggle with shortages of food, fuel and materials as the Spanish Civil War dragged on. Posters of this kind urged workers and families to accept rationing and to channel their labor and goods toward the war effort. Its color offset lithograph also shows how quickly such propaganda could be reproduced in quantity.
