These banners were produced by the ‘Hammersmith Aid Spain’ movement in support of the elected Spanish Republican government during the civil war 1936-39. They aimed to raise funds and to show solidarity with the International Brigades – volunteers from around the world who went to fight fascism in Spain.
They are also available individually.
They are part of the Marx Memorial Library's collection and were shown with others at ‘Banners for Spain! Fighting the Spanish Civil War in London’ at Islington Museum, May to July 2017. Their conservation was sponsored by the Textile Society and the General Federation of Trade Unions.
