The headline, "España ya eres libre!" ("Spain, you are now free!"), sets this lithograph apart from wartime posters that stress sacrifice or unity. Its imprint names Bilbao and the Jefatura Nacional de Prensa y Propaganda, and the record dates it to the Spanish Civil War, 1936 to 1939, when the Nationalist side under Francisco Franco cast its campaign as liberation from the Republic. The catalog tags emphasize hands and fascism, so the design depends on a bold image of hands to carry that message. Its color lithograph format was typical of the mass-produced propaganda that Nationalist authorities printed and distributed in the territory they held.
