The Spanish Civil War: Postcard
The Partido Obrero Unificación Marxista (POUM) was founded in 1935. Initially part of the Popular Front, electoral coalition, its leaders left the government when POUM's more radical proposals were not accepted. The party was particularly strong in Catalonia and the number of supporters grew rapidly during the Spanish Civil War.
This is from a set of postcards, possibly produced to raise support in the Catalonian region in POUM's conflict with the Spanish Communist Party.
