Anti-fascist poster depicting General Francisco Franco.

Anti-fascist poster, by the artist, Antonio Cañavate Gomez, depicting General Francisco Franco, leader of Nationalist Spain. the central figure of the rider on the horse is reminiscent of the caballo de bastos (knight of clubs) that appears on Spanish playing cards. Consequently, the club that Franco clasps in his right hand is symbolic of both the caricature of him and of the violent and repressive nature of Franco’s leadership.
