1936 original poster French Pyrenees would you want this to be possible tomorrow

1936

About the Item

The 1936 original poster by Pierre Mail, titled "Pyrénées Français, voudrais-tu que ceci soit possible demain ?! Guerre d'Espagne" (French Pyrenees, would you want this to be possible tomorrow?! Spanish Civil War), is a poignant and evocative piece of political art. Created during the early stages of the Spanish Civil War, this poster serves as a stark warning to the French public about the dangers of the conflict spilling over into France. The poster aims to draw attention to the immediate threat posed by the war just across the border in Spain, urging viewers to consider the possibility of such turmoil reaching the French Pyrenees. Pierre Mail's artwork is charged with urgency and caution, seeking to mobilize public opinion against the spread of fascism and the devastation of war. The question posed in the poster's text challenges the viewer to reflect on the horrors of the ongoing conflict in Spain and to take a stance in favor of peace and against the spread of violence. This poster not only highlights the geopolitical tensions of the era but also serves as a historical artifact that captures the fears and concerns of the French populace during a time of significant political upheaval in Europe.
