A connection between Orwell’s texts and posters during the Spanish Civil War
The essay aims at harmonizing Orwell’s or Graham’s texts with the advertisements that were in existence during the Spanish Civil war. The creation of this harmony will use selected chapters attached in the main document. The special collections sector of Brandeis University is a range of materials regarding the Spanish civil war. Many historians conclude that the Spanish Civil War caused more damage than expected. The poster collection regarding the civil war contains over 250 “anti-fascist posters” that were carried home or posted by Americans who were volunteers during the Spanish War. These posters served as encouragement for people against the Spanish takeover. Even though the creation of placards was for commercial use, it was still a means to an end for a more significant course.

As the title of the poster, which is in Spanish, indicates, it was a lesson for Mexican workers in their fight for a classist party. The main idea was to promote the proletarian dictatorship while withholding popular votes from governments.
Orwell’s book has a direct association with the Barcelona Massacre posters, which are several in number as showcased. In Chapter 3 of his book, he indicates that there are five crucial elements during warfare. These elements are tobacco, food, firewood, the enemy, and candles. If not all, some posters associated with the Barcelona massacre have several aspects, as stated by Orwell. George postulates that “In March there was heavy fighting round Huesca, but I played only a minor part in it. Later, in June, there was a disastrous attack on Huesca, where several thousand men died each day. The things that one normally thinks of as the horrors of war seldom happened to me” (Orwell 51). Orwell stated that in his book, there was a direct connection to one of the posters that showcased a man hitting a snake labeled fascism. The idea is to show that the Spanish Civil...
