*Campesino, defiende con las armas al gobierno que te di la tierra* ("Farmer, defend with arms the government that gave you the land") makes its appeal in the title alone. Issued by Spain's Ministry of Agriculture in 1936, the year the Spanish Civil War began, this color lithograph ties the Republic's land policies to the fight against the Nationalist rising. The catalog lists snakes among its subjects, a common image for a threat the viewer is meant to resist, and the poster's Spanish Civil War context makes its message about who owns the land and who must defend it clear.
