The headline makes a pointed promise: the war, it says, will keep the land that farmers hold today from being taken back by the caciques and señoritos, the local bosses and landed gentry who dominated the Spanish countryside. The poster sets a before-and-after contrast, with poor farmers and famine on one side and a contented worker on the other, crediting the Republic with the land and credit that made the difference. Issued in Madrid by the Subsecretaría de Propaganda during the Spanish Civil War, it reflects the Republican side's effort to win rural support through simple visual argument. Its message touches the central dispute of the conflict: who should control the land.
