The poster's slogan, "To save the art of Spain, fascism must be crushed," sets it apart from many wartime posters that focus only on the front lines. It ties the defense of Spain's cultural heritage directly to the fight against the Nationalist uprising that began in July 1936. The record lists the subject as destruction and pillage during the Civil War, reflecting fears that churches, museums and monuments would be damaged in the fighting. Printed in Madrid in offset lithography, the poster is one of a large body of Spanish Civil War propaganda, and it shows how cultural preservation became a rallying cause.
