During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican's published a large number of propaganda posters, most of them designed by young, leftist artists using a modernistic and graphic vocabulary. With only a small number of exceptions we know nothing about these strongly politically-oriented poster artists. The majority of them disappeared after the Fascist victory. A few posters are known by Pedrero, at least one of which features similar toy-looking vehicles. Here, trucks and trains are stylized in a neo-cubist fashion, pushed by hands eager to rush help to Madrid, the last stronghold of the Republicans.
