About the Item

The original poster "Vizcaínos por Dios y por España", promoting enlistment in the Requeté, offers a glimpse into the historical and political climate of Spain during a period of profound turmoil and ideological division. The Requeté was the Carlist militia that played a significant role during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), siding with the Nationalists under General Francisco Franco against the Republican government. This poster is a compelling artifact of its time, reflecting the fervent nationalism and deeply religious undertones of the Carlist movement. The poster calls on the people of Vizcaya (the Basque region) to join the Requeté under the rallying cry of “Por Dios y por España” (“For God and for Spain”). This phrase captures the Carlist emphasis on Catholic values and their commitment to traditionalism in the face of perceived threats from leftist, secular, and Republican forces. The Requeté militia members, many of whom came from deeply rural and religious backgrounds, fought with a sense of spiritual mission, viewing the war as a crusade to defend their faith and monarchy. The use of vivid imagery and strong typography was a key strategy in such propaganda, designed to stir emotions and encourage enlistment. Posters like this were central to mobilizing support and conveying the urgency of the Carlist cause. They often depicted an idealized image of the Basque or Spanish patriot, emphasizing valor, piety, and readiness to defend the homeland. This poster serves not only as a recruitment tool but also as a historical record of the ideologies that shaped the Spanish Civil War. It represents the intersection of politics, religion, and regional identity during one of the most polarized eras in Spain's history. For historians and collectors, this piece offers valuable insights into the propaganda methods of the Nationalist factions and the cultural narratives that defined their struggle.
