A loved one stands over a victim of the Spanish Nationalist air forces' bombing of Lleida (Lérida in Castillian), 2 November 1937.  This city was a strategic key blocking the approaches to Barcelona by Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War.  It was repeatedly bombed prior to its capture by the Nationalists in 1938.  In the 2 November raid, some 300 people, including some 50 children, were killed.   Best regards, JR.

Despair.

Presumably a posed propaganda 'photo, showing a Catalan virago calling the masses to the Anarchist flag, Catalonia, 1936.  Well, she is certainly better looking than General Franco ... Best regards, JR.

Catalan "Marianne"

Victims, human and equine, of the bombing of Lleida (Lérida), 2 November, 1937.  After the Spanish Civil War, the town's population was boosted by migration of people from southern Spain incentivised by the Franco régime - very good for the city's economy, as it turned out, but productive of cultural "issues" that last to this day.  Best regards, JR.
